Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Tottenham v West Brom, which kicks off in around 25 minutes at White Hart Lane...

Great save from Foster! The West Brom keeper tips Van der Vaart’s effort over as Bale cuts back from the by-line having been put down the left by Kaboul…

Van der Vaart curls the resulting set piece into the wall, West Brom clear the danger momentarily though and Spurs come forward again. Defoe is caught offside as Adebayor tries to play his team-mate – resplendent with bleached new haircut – through on goal.

Yellow card for Thomas as he brings Bale down on the edge of the area… Free-kick Spurs…

Spurs have dominated possession so far but are yet to really get going…

West Brom come forward but their foray is cut short by a sturdy home defence. The Baggies will try again though and Thorne takes control of the ball in midfield.

A bit of singing coming on from the home fans now. It’s been a relatively quiet first 20 minutes as far as the home crowd is concerned. Spurs have been threatening but there hasn’t yet been an effort on target…

Modric has, as expected, been pulling most of the creative strings in midfield inside the opening 17 minutes…

Foster punches clear as Bale whips in a cross from the right with Defoe lurking for the header. That’ll go down as a half-chance.

Odemwingie is caught offside as West Brom look to spring their paceman down the left side.

Bale comes in off the left and goes for glory from 25 yards but his shot is scuffed after Modric finds him between West Brom’s defence and midfield.

Sandro brings down Odemwingie in midfield as the Spurs man gets caught dallying by Dorrans. Free-kick for West Brom sees Dawson head wide from Dorrans’ delivery, with Friedel untroubled.

Modric attempts to thread Adebayor through with a clever inside ball but there’s just a touch too much weight on that one… Spurs patiently knocking on the door here.

Modric draws a foul from Scharner and Spurs have the free-kick 25 yards out. They probe once more but there’s no way forward as Defoe tries to poke a ball through inside the area.

Odemwingie tries to make a break forward for West Brom but Kaboul is more alert this time and outmuscles the striker.

West Brom with their first real sniff of a chance and Odemwingie gets in behind a dosing Kaboul as he latches onto a long ball forward from Foster at the back. Gallas covers his team-mate though…

Defoe drags a shot wide from 20 yards as Spurs again try to make their possession count.

Dawson cuts out a dangerous cross with a great header at his near post, and Van der Vaart then heads wide. Spurs pushing hard...

Three corners in a row for Spurs as they apply the pressure early on. West Brom deal with it and the home side are on top in the opening minutes...

West Brom mount the first attack of the evening but it's snuffed out as Cox is caught offside. Spurs come back up the other end and Modric has a half-shot blocked in a lively start.

KICK OFF... And we're underway at White Hart Lane...
