After what was perceived by some as a glorified international break during the FA Cup weekend, the Premier League returns with a vengeance with Tottenham and West Brom kicking off things at White Hart Lane.
Despite contrasting results in the cup, both sides are in buoyant mood in the league with Tottenham's win over Chelsea a latest sign that Mauricio Pochettino is plotting a trajectory that could see his men go the distance in the title race.
West Brom supporters have every right to feel just as happy these days under Tony Pulis, with the side eighth, but they will be without Jonny Evans and Allan Nyom for this one, and the Baggies are yet to beat anyone above them in the Premier League.
