Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at the Hawthorns in West Bromwich and can be live streamed here free.
Tottenham enter today's match four points out of European qualification. The pressures of capturing three points against a struggling West Brom side have only intensified, but it's the pressures of coaching that concern manager Tim Sherwood (h/t to the Express). "It's been an honor to manage this great football club, and I have enjoyed it. It's been different and an experience like no other," Sherwood said.
"Unless you've ever stood in that technical area and had the expectations of the whole football club—not just the 35,000 fans that show up every week but the 45,000 on the waiting list at Tottenham and their support around the world—then you don't really know what it's like to be a manager," he added.
"But perversely, I've enjoyed the pressure. I hear a lot of managers saying the pressure they can do without, but I'm not sure I could do without it now."
What Tottenham can't do without is a victory. Will they capture it at the Hawthorns? Tell us @SportsWN
