Tottenham Hotspur welcome managerless West Bromwich Albion to Wembley on Saturday, with Mauricio Pochettino expected to make three changes from the team that beat Borussia Dortmund in midweek.

Spurs came from a goal behind to secure an impressive 2-1 away win over the German giants, and Pochettino is expected to mostly keep faith with that starting XI.

The Lilywhites will be hoping to return to winning ways in the Premier League after their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the north London derby.

That result left Spurs sitting in fourth in the league, already falling 11 points behind early pacesetters Manchester City.

A win against West Brom is therefore crucial, but the Baggies have been a tough opponent for Spurs in recent times, winning just two of their last six league matches against Albion.

Spurs will however be confident after their trip to Germany, with goals from Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min carrying them home.

Pochettino reverted to a back four in that match for the first time in a while, but he is expected to go with the 3-4-2-1 formation that has served them so well this term.

This is FutbolĀ has named Tottenham’s expected starting XI against West Brom, including three changes and a formation switch.
