Jones Knows' prediction

Like many Premier League matches, the match result and correct score market represent no strong betting angles in this one. For the purposes of a prediction, a home win is obviously the most likely result as the Baggies will wilt under significant attacking pressure, like they've done all season. But you already knew that.

However, West Brom to get caught offside three or more times at 9/4 with Sky Bet does appeal for those looking for an angle in.

A switch to an unashamedly direct approach under Sam Allardyce has seen an upturn in the amount of times West Brom are getting caught offside. In four of the last 10 games in all competitions, the Baggies have been caught offside three or more times. And with Spurs happy to allow opposition plenty of territory - only Liverpool have caught more players offside this season than Jose Mourinho's side - then West Brom's long-ball approach can yield three offsides.

JONES KNOWS PREDICTS: 2-0

BETTING ANGLE: West Brom to have three or more offsides (9/4 with Sky Bet)
