    West Bromwich Albion visit Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Saturday 23rd April 2011 in the 34th round of Premier League matches (33rd for Spurs) of the 2010-11 season..

    This will be the 137th meeting between the two clubs.

    Albion were one of the 12 original members of the Football League in 1888 and the first meeting with Spurs, who were then in the Southern League, came in the 1900-01 FA Cup Semi-Final at Villa Park which Spurs won 4-0 on their way to becoming FA Cup Winners that season.

    The teams were drawn together again two seasons later in the first round (today's third round) of the FA Cup and played a 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane before Spurs won the replay at the Hawthornes 2-0.

    Tottenham Hotspur joined the Football League in 1908 and lost both Second Division matches to Albion that season 0-3 away and 1-3 at home.

    Despite those two defeats, Spurs won promotion to the First Division and Albion joined them for the 1911-12 season. Spurs won the first Top Flight match in September 1-0 at the Lane but the reverse fixture in January was abandoned due to fog. Albion won the re-arranged fixture in March 1912 2-0.

    Sandwiched inbetween those League meetings, Albion won a 1st Round FA Cup tie 3-0 in January 1912.

    Both clubs continued to meet in Division One for the next three seasons until World War One.

    The 1920 Charity Shield was contested between Spurs and Albion at White Hart Lane and the Baggies won 2-0.

    From 1921 to 1927, the clubs met regularly in the First Division . They then met for three seasons in Division Two from 1928 to 1931 before regaining their Top Flight status from 1933 to 1935.

    The clubs were in the Second Division for the 1938-39 season and Spurs won 4-3 at White Hart Lane in the last match before the outbreak of World War Two in September 1939. The season was abandoned with most clubs having played three matches.

    Spurs and Albion met twice during the War in the Football League South resulting in a win apiece.

    When League Football resumed after WW2, both clubs were in the Second Division and Spurs won the League in 1949-50 with Albion finishing Runners-Up.

    The 1950-51 season saw both clubs back in Division One and Spurs did the "double" over Albion, winning 2-1 at the Hawthornes and 5-0 at the Lane, on the way to Tottenham Hotspur's first Top Flight League Championship.

    Every League meeting between the two clubs since 1950-51 has taken place in the Top Flight.

    The first Football League Cup meeting came in October 1970 with Spurs winning 5-0 with a hat-trick from Martin Peters and a brace from Alan Gilzean. There have been four meetings in the competition to date with Spurs winning three games and one match drawn.

    Tottenham Hotspur were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93 and are one of seven ever-present clubs in the competition.

    West Bromwich Albion were promoted to the Premier League for the 2002-03 season and this is their fifth season.

    Spurs won both matches in 2002-03 with goals from Christian Ziege, Robbie Keane and Gus Poyet securing a 3-1 win at the Lane while a brace from Keane and a Teddy Sheringham goal saw Spurs win 3-2 at the Hawthornes.

    Both matches in the 2004-05 season ended in 1-1 draws, Jermain Defoe scoring away and Keane scoring at home. The clubs also met in the FA Cup fourth round that season with a 1-1 draw at the Hawthornes followed by a 3-1 win at White Hart Lane.

    Honours were even in 2005-06 with Albion winning 2-0 at the Hawthornes and Spurs winning 2-1 at the Lane.

    The 2008-09 season saw similar results with Albion winning 2-0 at the Hawthornes and Spurs winning 1-0 at the Lane.

    This season's reverse fixture in September 2010 resulted in a 1-1 draw. Luka Modric scored Spurs' goal.

    Overall, matches played between the two clubs are exactly level with both teams winning 54 games and the remaining 30 of the 136 matches played so far ending in draws.
