Tottenham host West Ham as both sides push for Europe
Spurs, having made a superb start will want to get back in touch with the leaders after a number of setbacks. West Ham are very much in touch with the race for the European places.
Tottenham Hotspur
Ange Postecoglou made an immediate impact on Tottenham and their early season form took them to the top of the table. This progress has slowed with a few defeats which brought injuries and suspensions. However, a courageous performance which saw Spurs earn a point from a thrilling 3-3 draw at Manchester City will have been a major boost and there is optimism among the fanbase over the manner of their performances. Spurs will be looking to build more momentum in what could be a stern test against their London rivals.
Cristian Romero returns after serving a three-match suspension. Rodrigo Bentancur (ankle), James Maddison (ankle), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Pape Matar Sarr (muscle), Manor Solomon (knee), Ivan Perisic (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (thigh), Ashley Phillips (ankle) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle) all remain unavailable, while Eric Dier is a doubt after missing the draw with Man City due to a muscular issue picked up in training.
West Ham United
West Ham, after winning the Conference League last season, have against started the season well in Europe, progressing in the Europa League, and their league form has seen them well placed to push up the table and secure qualification for continental competition next season. The Hammers drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace on Sunday, and dropping two points at home will be viewed as a disappointment by David Moyes. They will travel to Tottenham determined to come away with something.
Michail Antonio (knee) remains on the sidelines. Kurt Zouma may not be avaialble after having over £100,000 of valuables stolen during a robbery at his home last weekend. The defender missed the draw at Palace,
Prediction
Tottenham are strong at home and while West Ham are a respected side who are more than capable of competing with the top sides in the Premier League, I feel that Spurs will do enough to get a victory. Home win
