An important London derby awaits in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon as Tottenham play host to West Ham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both teams had contrasting fates in the FA Cup last time out.
Indeed, Spurs lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa in the third round, while the Hammers beat QPR 2-1 on home soil, although they did need extra-time to get past the Championship side. Nonetheless, both teams could do with a win in this league fixture as they struggle in the bottom seven of the table.
