Team News: Mauricio Pochettino rotates full-backs for West Bromwich Albion visit

Spurs rotate full-backs for Albion visit

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to his starting lineup for this afternoon's Premier League meeting with West Bromwich Albion.

Both alterations come in the full-back positions, as Ben Davies and Kieran Trippier are preferred to Danny Rose and Serge Aurier - starters in the 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in midweek.

Erik Lamela returned to action with Tottenham's Under-23s side earlier this week, but he is still not deemed fit enough for senior action, while Toby Alderweireld also misses out on the matchday 18.

Interim West Brom boss Gary Megson has to contend with an injury issue of his own, meanwhile, as Chris Brunt remains absent due to a calf injury, which he is expected to recover from in the coming days.

Allan Nyom and Sam Field replace Gareth McAuley and Grzegorz Krychowiak in the two changes from last weekend's 4-0 loss to Chelsea - a result that cost Tony Pulis his job.

Albion are without a win in 10 league matches and have defeated Spurs just once in their last 15 attempts.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Winks; Son, Eriksen, Dele; Kane Subs: Vorm, Aurier, Foyth, Walker-Peters, Dembele, Sissoko, Llorente

West Bromwich Albion: Foster; Nyom, Evans, Hegazi, Gibbs; Livermore, Barry; Field, Phillips; Rodriguez, Rondon Subs: Robson-Kanu, Yacob, Myhill, McClean, Burke, Krychowiak, McAuley
