2012-08-25 - Tottenham vs West Brom

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

After going down to Newcastle at St James Park, Andre Villas-Boas will be eager to start his home debut with a win against West Brom.

It will not be easy against West Brom manager Steve Clarke who knows Villas-Boas well from their time together as assistants to Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and enjoyed a better opening day by winning 3-0 against Liverpool at The Hawthorns.

Tottenham though have been boosted by the signing of former loanee Emmanuel Adebayor this week.The Togo striker will provide competition for Jermain Defoe who scored against Newcastle in their defeat.

Tottenham did the double against West Brom last season and both strikers will fancy their chances as they scored two goals each against the West Midlands side.

Team News :

Tottenham Team News :
Younes Kaboul's knee injury has ruled out the defender and that means new signing Jan Vertonghen is likely to start. Club captain Michael Dawson is also available despite holding talks with QPR over a potential move this week and may start from the bench.

The likes of Scott Parker, Giovani Dos Santos and Heurelho Gomes will not be available while Luka Modric will not feature ahead of his proposed move to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Adebayor is set to challenge Defoe for the central striker's role in the side.

West Brom Team News :
After beating Liverpool 3-0 on the opening day, Clarke does not have much of a selection problem. He is expected to name the same side that beat Liverpool.

Menwhile, summer signing Markus Rosenberg is pushing hard for a starting spot following his move from Werder Bremen and could make his debut from the bench.

Graham Dorrans could be available as the midfielder's daughter continues to make good progress as she recovers from meningitis.

Predictions :

Go for Tottenham to win this match and give the 1 ball here.
