West Ham host Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium for, what is likely to be, a fierce London derby in the Premier League this weekend.
Historically, the game is always explosive and last season West Ham ended Spurs’ title challenge by defeating the north London outfit 1-0, courtesy of a Manuel Lanzini goal.
Tottenham go into the game after a disappointing goalless draw against Swansea at Wembley last weekend; however they can take solace from the fact that they are yet to lose on the road.
After a bad start to the season, West Ham have not conceded in three games and kick-started their season with a 2-0 win over Huddersfield.

Saturday, September 23 at the London Stadium. Kick-off is at 12.30pm.
