Tottenham vs West Brom: Will the "Rooster" crow again?

(Baonghean) - The early match of round 21 of the Premier League (EPL) between Tottenham and West Brom will take place tomorrow night (7:30 p.m., January 14). Coach Tony Pulis's team promises to bring to White Hart Lane a new "experience", not at all pleasant for Coach Pochettino and his students.

Last season, it was Mauricio Pochettino's team that was the only team capable of preventing Leicester City from winning the Premier League too early. This season, Tottenham "rescued" the Premier League from boredom. At the beginning of the season, they stopped Man City's 6-game winning streak.

Recently, "The Rooster" continued to make opponents respect when they ended Chelsea's 13-match winning streak in round 20.

Defeating Chelsea with a score of 2-0, not only helped the "Rooster" of London push Arsenal out of the Top 4, but Spurs also jumped to 3rd place and made the race for the Premier League championship, and all 4 tickets to the Champions League more dramatic.

West Brom are always a tough opponent for Tottenham…

It is worth mentioning that coach Pochettino knew how to "fight poison with poison" when he destroyed Conte's "3-4-3 winning framework" with a similar formation. Most likely, this is the "key" that Tottenham will apply for the rest of the race this season. Because it allows Tottenham to field the best quality players. In particular, the 2 central defenders have more time to handle the ball and the 2 full-backs are more explosive when participating in the attack. The midfield promotes mobility and versatility, especially Victor Wanyama.

Up front, Harry Kane's active pursuit of the ball has given Alli and Eriksen plenty of space to operate, seizing opportunities to "shoot". In particular, after scoring twice against Chelsea, people believe that Alli will continue to demonstrate his innate "killer" ability.

The 20-year-old talent has scored 11 goals in all competitions, including a double in three consecutive matches.

However, West Brom have never been easy prey for the “Roosters”. Coach Tony Pulis’s team will not try to take the initiative and control the game, but will decide their fate in their own way. They are ready to retreat, giving the “Roosters” complete control of the game, calmly repelling attacks with tightness and dedication, before launching the finishing blow, possibly with a counter-attack, or a dead ball situation.

Against Tottenham, they will again focus on defense and counter-attack. That is what makes the "Rooster" most discouraged.

...But will Tottenham have their sixth consecutive win in the Premier League tomorrow night?

Remember, last season, West Brom were the ones who destroyed Tottenham's last hopes of winning the title when they held them to a 1-1 draw. That broke the "Rooster"'s 55-year thirst for the championship, when they fell 7 points behind Leicester before the last 3 rounds.

In the first leg of this season, in the context of the absence of "youngster" Harry Kane due to injury, Tottenham continued to be held to a 1-1 draw. They played like "chickens with hair caught" at The Hawthorns of West Brom. Names such as Robson - Kanu, Chadli and Phillips are helping West Brom play one of their most prosperous seasons in the Premier League with 28 goals after 20 rounds.

But that is not enough for Pulis's army to continue to be a "troublesome roadblock" tomorrow night! Remember, visiting White Hart Lane at this time is a fear for all the "big guys", not just West Brom. In addition, West Brom's form is not really good when they have lost all away to Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea.

Having to face a Tottenham team that possesses one of the three strongest attacks this season is no different from a nightmare and just hoping to keep a clean sheet is difficult, let alone the chance to gain points.

Obviously, the 8th position compared to the potential and position of West Brom at the present time is commendable. However, no one dares to believe that the miracle at White Hart Lane will call their name. Tomorrow night, the "Rooster" will "crow loudly", extending the winning streak, continuing to firmly cling to the race for supremacy with Chelsea and Liverpool.
