Tottenham host West Brom on Monday Night Football, hoping to stay within striking distance of Premier League leaders Leicester. Christian Eriksen will be charged with pulling Spurs creative strings, as hes done throughout the season, and his head-to-head clash with Claudio Yacob will prove a focal point of this match.The Denmark internationals consistency has occasionally been lost at Tottenham among Harry Kanes goals, Dele Allis emergence and the drastic improvements shown by Erik Lamela, Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier this season. Spurs have become the Premier Leagues most creative unit, creating 449 chances (already 41 more than last season), and its the Denmark international whos been their most constant source of production.

Christian Eriksen provided the assist for Dele Allis first goal v Stoke The Denmark internationals 12 assists are also the divisions second best return behind Ozil, but in the key, home straight of the season, no player has kept pace with the Tottenham mans form. Eriksens peaked at the perfect time, creating more chances than any other player in 2016, providing a surge of ammunition for Spurs attackers.

Charged with leading Tottenhams high press, only seven players (of the 236 to play more than 1200 mins in the Premier League this season) cover more ground per 90 minutes than Eriksen.

Hoping to subdue this considerable threat on Monday Night Football will be West Broms Yacob. The midfielder sits in front of his back four, shielding his penalty box, as his Heatmap from Thursdays game at Arsenal depicts. His role is to disrupt opposing attackers and prevent sides from getting shots away from central, danger areas. Claudio Yacobs heat map v Arsenal on April 21 In a team that rarely tackles - their 561 tackles rank second fewest in the Premier League - Yacob is very much unleashed as Tony Pulis exception to the rule. While team-mates are instructed to keep their shape instead of engaging attackers, waiting for opponents to come to them, Yacob has been one of the Premier Leagues busiest players this season, totalling the fourth most tackles and interceptions. Yacob the Enforcer PL 2015-16 Tackles + Interceptions Tackles + Interceptions per 90 mins NGolo Kane 283 9.6 Idrissa Gueye 264 8.7 Yohan Cabaye 215 7.5 Claudio Yacob 198 7.1 Erik Pieters 196 6.2 His task of continuously pestering attackers is then further emphasised by the fact hes committed the second-most fouls this season (57). If he cant win the ball back legally, he makes sure he stalls opponents any way he can.One final comfort for West Brom is that their general unwillingness to keep the ball, especially in their own half, can potentially make Eriksens and Tottenhams pressing game less effective than usual. The Baggies average the lowest possession (40%) in the Premier League and also average the highest percentage of long passes (22%). Therefore, when they win the ball back, as Yacob regularly does, it will be cleared before Spurs can press. Christian Eriksen has gone slightly under the radar for Tottenham this season Tottenham go into Mondays clash as firm favourites, expected to maintain their momentum and take all three points to keep pressure on Leicester. Eriksens creative form would pose questions to any defence, though Yacob has the game to frustrate the Dane and reduce his recent level of influence.Watch Tottenham v West Brom live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Monday Night Football from 7pm.
