West Brom manager Tony Pulis has described Tottenham as "first class" ahead of tonight's clash between the two sides at White Hart Lane.

Spurs were tipped to be little more than top-four contenders at the start of the season but are the last remaining side who can stop Leicester's march towards the title.

Mauricio Pochettino's young team have made huge strides on the pitch this season and remain on course to secure the north London club's best ever Premier League finish.

The future off the pitch also appears to be bright with a new stadium set to be built in time for the start of the 2018-19 season and Pulis has praised the entire set up in N17.

"White Hart Lane is one of my favourite grounds, it's a fantastic stadium with a great atmosphere.

"Everything to do with the club is first class," he told West Brom's official website.

"I've said before that I would love to see Leicester win the League but if not then I'm also happy with Tottenham.

"It's great for football that there will be a different team picking up the trophy this year," he added.

West Brom were comfortably beaten by Arsenal last time out and Pulis is adamant his side will need to improve on that showing if they are to avoid a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat.

"That was our most disappointing performance - Arsenal deserved to win because we looked flat.

"We didn't do very well on Thursday - we have to dust ourselves down and put a performance in on Monday," said the Baggies boss.

Spurs have little room for error as they will hand Leicester a chance to secure the title with victory at Old Trafford next weekend if they fail to secure all three points tonight.
