West Brom relying on 'Pulis effect'

London - Want a sure way of avoiding relegation from the Premier League? Hire Tony Pulis.

West Bromwich Albion had slumped to within a point and a place of the relegation zone and was on a run of just one win in 10 matches when it appointed Pulis as a replacement for Alan Irvine at the start of January.

Pulis has never been relegated in his 23 years as a manager, and kept Crystal Palace up last season after taking over a team bottom of the Premier League. And he is already working wonders at The Hawthorns, with West Brom winning three and drawing the other in his four games in charge, conceding one goal.

On Saturday, West Brom hosts Tottenham, a side challenging for the lucrative top four spot and who are s fresh off reaching the League Cup final.

West Bromwich Albion host Tottenham Hotspur at The Hawthorns at 17:00.
