Despite just one win away from home all season, Mowbray has delivered a bullish message as his team look for a victory that could put them back in touch with their relegation rivals.

The Baggies have been largely written off in the fight to stay up, but victory in North London would send them in to the home clash with Wigan a week later with renewed hope.

Mowbray said: "It's going to be a great game going to White Hart Lane. It will be a great pitch and they've got some unbelievably talented players.

"Yet, having sat and watched their game at Manchester United, we know they can be as good as they were in the first half but their fallibilities can be there as well.

"I think we will create some chances there, but we know they've got some great players who can hurt any team, as they showed at Old Trafford."

Mowbray insists he has not been affected by his side's chances being dismissed.

He said: "I don't get sucked into perceptions and that's not just a line of spin.

"All we've got to do is look at Tottenham this weekend, do our homework, do things properly, give ourselves the best chance to go there and give them some problems.

"We could win all of our games and all the teams around us could win all of their games - and we still wouldn't get out of it."
