Tottenham vs West Ham LIVE!

Spurs welcome fierce rivals West Ham to north London in the Premier League this afternoon, looking to bounce back from their horror capitulation at Brighton a fortnight ago. They led 2-0 at half-time before collapsing quickly to lose, and Ange Postecoglou has had to stew on that over the international break. Such a result ended an impressive run of five consecutive wins across all competitions for Tottenham, with Postecoglou describing it as the worst defeat of his tenure so far.

Spurs will hope to restore confidence today against a West Ham side that made a very sluggish start to a new era under Julen Lopetegui, before some of the early pressure on David Moyes’ successor was eased before the break with a thumping 4-1 home win over struggling Ipswich in which captain Jarrod Bowen was back to his best.

Lopetegui could take a big step towards building a positive rapport with sceptical Hammers fans with a win over Spurs, who welcome back captain Heung-min Son and Richarlison. However, the visitors are still without the injured Niclas Fullkrug as they chase successive away league wins in N17 for the first time since 1966. Follow Tottenham vs West Ham live below.

Here we go!

12:28 , Matt Verri

Teams are out in north London.

It has been a fairly miserable morning on the weather front, but the rain has halted. For now.

Not long now!

12:22 , Matt Verri

Warm-ups done, players will be in the tunnel very shortly.

Only two points between these two sides in the table, even though it feels like they have had very different starts to the season.

Spurs have been praised for how they’ve played, but they sit ninth and already eight points off the top.

Postecoglou speaks ahead of kick-off...

Get the impression the Spurs boss isn’t fully over that Brighton defeat yet!

Good memories for West Ham

12:07 , Matt Verri

The Hammers actually have a fairly decent record here in recent year.

They beat Spurs 2-1 in north London last season, while there was a 3-3 draw in 2020 and a 1-0 victory the year before.

However, not since 1966 have West Ham won back-to-back games away from home in the league against Tottenham.

Chance to make history this afternoon.

Pre-match thoughts from Lopetegui

11:50 , Matt Verri

Only two wins in the Premier League so far this season, but Julen Lopetegui insists that West Ham are not lacking in confidence.

"The past is the past,” he says.

“We play against a big team with big quality at home. We have to be ready with a good answer."

"It always means more if you get three points [in a derby]. We know this about the fans, but we put our focus on the pitch.”

Look away, Spurs fans...

11:42 , Matt Verri

There’s been a lot of talk about this match in recent days, with it fair to say Ange Postecoglou remains deeply unimpressed with how his side fell apart.

Two goals up at half-time against Brighton... Spurs left with nothing.

Postecoglou: Mason happy to stay at Spurs

11:35 , Matt Verri

Ange Postecoglou has insisted Ryan Mason remains 'committed' to Tottenham after missing out on the Anderlecht job.

The Spurs assistant coach held talks with the Belgian giants after they sacked Brian Riemer last month.

However, Mason will stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after they appointed David Hubert as head coach.

“I have always worked on the premise that part of my role is also developing coaches and it is something I take great pride in,” Postecoglou said.

“Ryan is obviously someone who sees himself as one day taking that opportunity. It’s a really important decision for the guys. It’s not like we want them to leave and certainly with Ryan, he is doing a great job for us here.

“To be fair to Ryan, he was pretty straightforward with it. I said to him I didn’t want it drawn out, taking any time, and he didn’t. He is really happy where he is now and committed to us.”

Key players back for Spurs!

11:24

Heung-min Son returns for Tottenham, he’s fit enough to start this afternoon and take back the captain’s armband.

Yves Bissouma comes into the midfield, as Rodrigo Bentancur drops to the bench, and Richarlison is back from injury to be named among the substitutes.

As for West Ham, Niclas Fullkrug remains out so it’s a familiar front three. Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Mohammed Kudus tasked with troubling that Spurs defence.

Hojbjerg to seal permanent Marseille move

11:04 , Matt Verri

Marseille sporting director Mehdi Benatia has confirmed the club will sign on-loan Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg permanently.

Spurs loaned the Denmark international to Marseille with an obligation to make the move permanent for a fee of around £17m.

Hojbjerg has impressed so far this season at the French club, helping them climb to third in Ligue 1.

And Benatia has revealed they are keen for him to become a permanent member of Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.

“Pierre has signed a loan agreement with an option to buy, so the move will soon become permanent,” Benatia told Danish sports magazine Tipsbladet.

Lopetegui: Extra passion of derby will help us

10:56 , Matt Verri

West Ham have already had a few London derby matches this season, beating Crystal Palace before earning a point away to Fulham and then losing comfortably against Chelsea.

This, though, is the one Hammers fans really care about, with Julen Lopetegui insisting he is aware of the added pressure.

“I know this is a big derby in London and means a lot to our fans,” Lopetegui said.

“We don’t need any other reason to be ready. We’re going to have over 3,000 fans at the stadium, and we will be ready to work hard and get a good result for them.

“Our fans are always the best for us, and this is a good thing for us.

“The extra passion in these games is always good for the environment, the fans, the players, and also us.”

Spurs must produce response

10:46 , Matt Verri

As Tottenham's internationals filtered back to Hotspur Way this week, they should not have expected a warm reception from Ange Postecoglou, writes Dan Kilpatrick.

The Spurs head coach can be cool with his players at the best of times but he has spent this international break stewing over his side's collapse from 2-0 at half-time to lose 3-2 at Brighton last time out.

Postecoglou even said in a broadcast interview this week that he is “ready to explode” on his players as a form of "therapy", and it felt like he was only half-joking.

Postecoglou had no chance to properly address the bulk of his squad at the Amex before they left for international duty but most of the players will have since seen his loaded post-match comments, when the Australian accused them of a lack of "fight" and failing to do the basics.

It was a direct hit on their mentalities - not nearly as extreme as Antonio Conte's final rant as Spurs boss after a similar collapse at Southampton, but with the same underlying message - and one of things Postecoglou has likely been "sitting on" this fortnight is whether the game was a one-off or evidence of a more ingrained problem in his young squad.

Standard Sport prediction

10:28 , Matt Verri

It’s always difficult to predict games accurately after the international break, but Spurs can surely be expected to start with real intensity after that Brighton collapse.

West Ham have largely struggled this season, and this could be another frustrating afternoon.

Tottenham to win, 3-1.

West Ham team news

10:21 , Matt Verri

West Ham are set to once again be without striker Niclas Fullkrug.

He suffered an Achilles injury last month while away on international duty with Germany and returned to training before the Carabao Cup defeat by Liverpool, but is still not fit enough to return after a setback.

West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui has revealed that the 31-year-old suffered some “complications” in his return from injury and his comeback date remains unclear.

"He initially thought he had one non-important injury, but he has had complications and we are waiting to recover him,” said the Irons chief of his striker.

"We thought he would be out for a maximum of two weeks, but right now he is out and I don't say anything about how long he will be out. We will see."

Predicted West Ham XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Rodriguez, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus, Bowen, Antonio

Tottenham team news

10:11 , Matt Verri

Heung-min Son is set to be available again for Tottenham this afternoon.

The South Korean has missed the last three matches and his country's internationals after picking up a muscle injury against Qarabag in the Europa League last month but has trained this week.

In a major boost to Tottenham’s forward options, Richarlison is also back with the first team though likely to start on the bench against the Hammers, with Postecoglou having already promised to be cautious with the Brazilian following his latest injury lay-off.

Wilson Odobert remains sidelined, with Ange Postecoglou hopeful that the French forward will be back in training next week, while Lucas Bergvall picked up a knock on Sweden duty but should be fit to make the squad this weekend.

Son is likely to replace Timo Werner in Spurs' front line but Postecoglou is otherwise expected to name a similar team to the 3-2 defeat at Brighton last time out, despite Spurs' second-half collapse from 2-0 up on the south coast.

Predicted Tottenham (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Kulusevski, Maddison; Johnson, Son, Solanke
