West Brom midfielder Livermore: Spurs ace Bale a freak

West Brom midfielder Jake Livermore is looking forward to a reunion with Tottenham.

Albion will be long underdogs against Spurs. For skipper Livermore, it's a chance to see former Tottenham team-mates Harry Kane and Gareth Bale again.

"I've known Harry since we were kids. He was always single-minded and wanted to improve," said Livermore.

"Gareth was a freak of nature physically, his pace and strength, and a wonderful left foot. He always seemed to get us out of a hole. It's remarkable to see his career flourish.

"It's not panic stations for us yet. We have played some good stuff in spells but been a bit naive. The manager believes in us and that's massive."
