Tottenham Hotspur have many enemies and critics to prove wrong when they host West Brom at the White Hart Lane on Monday for their Premier League clash.
This match comes at a time when their West London rivals Chelsea are silently praying for a Spurs downfall and a Leicester City victory as far as the race for the league title is concerned.
Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas recently confessed that they would like to see the Foxes run away with the league title at Spurs’ expense. These comments attracted the anger of many Spurs fans, and West Brom’s visit could set the right platform for Mauricio Pochettino’s men to gain the much-needed momentum through a win as they prepare to clash with Chelsea in their next fixture on May 2.
Some fans and analysts believe that the comments by the two Chelsea stars could inspire the White Hart Lane outfit to perform even better as the chase for the league title heads to the wire.
Sitting eight points behind the Foxes, the title could head Claudio Ranieri’s way if Mauricio Pochettino’s men fail to register a win this evening against the Baggies. A win will reduce the Foxes’ lead to five points and with their last three league fixtures comprising of Man United at Old Trafford, Everton at the King Power Stadium and then a crucial trip to the Stamford Bridge, Spurs can still be hopeful for a slipup.
Apart from the chance to finish inside the top 10 bracket in the league this season, WBA have nothing else go gain from this match. That said and done, the ball is in Spurs’ court today as they prepare to visit The Blues at the Stamford Bridge this weekend.
Today, all eyes will be on Harry Kane, who is the league's top scorer with 24 goals, and Dele Ali, who just won the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
