West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine rates opponents Tottenham as top four material.
They go to White Hart Lane with Spurs expected to recall Emmanuel Adebayor after their 0-0 Europa League draw at Partizan Belgrade.
Mauricio Pochettino's side have aspirations of returning to the Champions League and Irvine expects them to challenge for a top four spot.
"He inherited a good squad at Southampton and built on what Nigel Adkins was doing," he said.
"He got the Tottenham job and again inherited a very good squad with lots of good players and he is continuing to work well with them.
"I would expect them to be a team competing at the top level.
"There are probably seven teams competing for places in the top four and I would put Tottenham in among them."
