Mauricio Pochettino has selected the same eleven players that overcame Chelsea ten days ago as Tottenham welcome West Bromwich Albion to White Hart Lane.
The Spurs manager made several changes when Aston Villa were the visitors in the FA Cup at the weekend. And despite some impressive performance from the stand-ins, it seems Pochettino knows he can trust the eleven that beat Chelsea so impressively.
Georges-Kevin Nkoudou will hope to make an impact from the bench, just as he did against Villa. There is no place in the 18-man squad for striker Vincent Janssen.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.

Really enjoying the change of formation to 3 at the back, seems like they've worked it out fully before putting it in matches

No real surprise. Curious to see how back three goes against WBA, should be more dynamic than against Villa with Jan/Dier back in. https://t.co/7bVYw0VK1u

Surprised Poch has gone 3-4-3 but it looks like that's our Plan A now. Makes sense for full backs, but are 3ATB needed vs. one ST? #COYS

Looks like 3 at the back again with Walker and Rose free to do their sexy runs down the wings. LOVE IT #COYS #BestFullbacksInEngland #TOTWBA

No point changing a winning team #COYS

N'Koudou, Son & Sissoko great impact players to bring off the bench should the game require changing as we have seen recently. #COYS#THFC
