Tottenham vs Middlesbrough: What time does it start, what TV channel is it on, where can I watch it?

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at White Hart Lane

Tottenham Hotspur have lost a little lustre in recent weeks and come into this meeting with Middlesbrough on the back of two draws.

The pulsating point at the Etihad was followed, in the Premier League, by a disappointing stalemate at Sunderland, and a return to winning ways on Saturday would be more than welcome.

Middlesbrough, meanwhile, must start looking over their shoulder. Aitor Karanka’s team are solid yet unspectacular and with those around them in the table’s lower reaches improving, they must be careful not to be drawn into a tight relegation battle.

What time is kick-off?

The match will kick off at 5.30pm on Saturday 4 February.

Where can I watch it?

It will be shown live on BT Sport 1, with highlights on BBC One from 10.30pm.

It’s a big game for…

Ben Davies: The Wales international is expected to be drafted in at left-back following Danny Rose’s injury at the Stadium of Light.

Tottenham’s full-backs are key to how they play and Davies has a lot to live up to as Rose’s replacement.

Best stat…

Only Chelsea and Tottenham have conceded fewer goals on the road than Middlesbrough.

Player to watch…

Harry Kane: After blanking in midweek against Sunderland, Kane has now gone two games without a goal, but has a chance of finding his shooting boots against another North-east outfit.

On his last appearance at White Hart Lane, in last month’s 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion, he hit a hat-trick.

WEST BROM 1 - 0 STOKE

Pulis's men are looking comfortable with the one goal advantage and they are simply sitting back and defending their lead at the moment. They are having very few attacks, but if they can maintain this scoreline until the end then this will be a tremendous result.
