Tottenham Hotspur
We’re back in Premier League action on Sunday with a trip to West Ham (kick-off 2pm UK).
Having lost all three of our London derbies last month, we’ve won our last two top-flight games back-to-back to go fifth and could leapfrog Brighton into the top four with a good result at the London Stadium.
David Moyes’ men are also pushing for a top four spot and currently sit one point behind us in seventh, with Manchester United occupying sixth place ahead of Sunday’s fixtures.
Here’s all you need to know ahead of the game...
