Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino praises impact of Darren Moore at West Brom

Pochettino praises Moore impact at Baggies

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has said that West Bromwich Albion are doing "a fantastic job" under caretaker boss Darren Moore.

Last month, Moore replaced Alan Pardew in the dugout and the Baggies youth coach has guided the club to eight points from four matches in the Premier League.

West Brom are still likely to be relegated from the top flight, but Pochettino has predicted that his team will face a difficult test at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon.

At a press conference, the 46-year-old told reporters: "I think they're doing a fantastic job in the last few games. The team has more freedom, they show massive belief in every game.

"That is the most important thing – that we are going to face a team that believes, that fights, that isn't giving up and are still believing they can survive. Of course it will be complicated for them but they still believe."

Spurs head into the match knowing that two wins from their remaining three fixtures will be enough to secure qualification for next season's Champions League.
