Defoe joins Keane up front
Martin Jol handed striker Jermain Defoe the chance to reinforce his England hopes by pairing him with Robbie Keane in an unchanged team against West Brom at White Hart Lane.
Egyptian striker Mido was again left on the substitute’s bench as Jol opted to keep faith with the side which beat Birmingham at St Andrews.
A win for the home side would cement their chances of clinching the coveted fourth place in the Barclays Premiership.
Struggling Albion, who have never won on a Monday night game in six attempts, paired Nathan Ellington and Kanu in attack as they looked to ease their relegation fears.
