Tottenham Hotspur will get back to Premier League action after the international break when they take on West Ham at White Hart Lane on Saturday evening.

Spurs secured a hard fought 1-1 draw against north London rivals Arsenal last time out two weeks ago which has left them sitting fifth in the table and five points adrift of leaders Liverpool.

The result at the Emirates means Tottenham remain the only unbeaten team left in the top flight and Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate to maintain that record with another positive result against West Ham tomorrow.

However, the Argentinean coach will be hoping his side start turning draws in to wins as Spurs haven’t tasted victory since beating Manchester City 2-0 at the beginning of October.

They should be confident of getting all three points this weekend as the Hammers head in to the game sitting 17th in the table following a poor start to the season and West Ham have won just one of their last 14 league visits to White Hart Lane.

Team news

Pochettino will give a late fitness test to Dele Alli after the midfielder made a swift recovery from a knee injury that kept him out of the Arsenal game before the international break.

Christian Eriksen is expected to shake off a hip problem while Kyle Walker and Danny Rose are available despite minor knocks.

However, Toby Alderweireld remains out with a knee injury while Erik Lamela (hip) and Ben Davies (ankle) remain on the sidelines.

Pochettino is expected to stick with the three-man defence which he deployed at Arsenal with Kevin Wimmer alongside Jan Vertonghen and Eric Dier.

West Ham welcome Diafra Sakho back in to the squad for the first time this season after the striker recovered from a back injury while Winston Reid returns from suspension.

Midfielder Mark Noble is out due to a one-game ban and Andy Carroll is still a couple of weeks away from recovering from an ankle injury but James Collins should be available after overcoming a knock which forced him to withdraw from the Wales squad.

Likely Line-Ups

Predicted Score

Tottenham 2-0 West Ham: Spurs have been grinding out too many draws this season but I think they should be confident heading in to this game as West Ham have looked a poor side at times this year. Their away form is actually better than their home form but I’m still going to back Tottenham to ease to a 2-0 win tomorrow.
