Tottenham welcome West Ham to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hoping to right last week's wrongs, after falling 4-1 to Leicester City. A London derby will certainly help them rediscover their form, just two weeks after seeing off Manchester City in a tight 1-0 win.
Pressure is continuously increasing on West Ham manager David Moyes, with his side sat just two points and two places above the relegation zone. Coming from behind to take a draw against Chelsea at the London Stadium last week will certainly have helped matters, but the Scotsman's side need to start delivering on a more regular basis.
The reverse fixture finished 1-1 earlier in the campaign, and, with this game the final one of the weekend, expect fireworks, drama and undoubtedly a few goals.
Tottenham are without their manager in the dugout against West Ham, with Antonio Conte opting to take an extended leave of absence to fully recover from his gall bladder surgery. The midfield is light on numbers, too, with Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur both likely to miss much of the season.
Ryan Sessegnon and Hugo Lloris are also out, so Fraser Forster retains his place in goal. Out-of-form Heung-min Son is relegated to the bench as Richarlison starts alongside Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski in attack.
Michail Antonio will again start up front for this London derby, with both Danny Ings and Gianluca Scamacca missing through knee problems. Maxwell Cornet will have to wait to make an imprint on this side, too, joining Kurt Zouma on the injury list.
West Ham XI: Fabianski; Kehrer, Ogbonna, Aguerd; Coufal, Soucek, Rice, Emerson; Bowen, Downes; Antonio.
Form
Tottenham are pushing for the Champions League places, but, having played a game extra than fourth-placed Newcastle and two points behind them in fifth, Spurs will have plenty of ground to make up in the remainder of the season. Inconsistency has really hindered them.
West Ham have had a dismal season, just months after reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League. 16th in the Premier League and just two points above the drop zone, they're looking more and more likely to be dragged into a scrap for survival.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there.For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
