Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to Match of the Day: “In terms of performance we played a good game, we controlled the game, created good chances, didn’t allow many things to West Ham.

"We have to improve on several aspects. We are in the way that we played better than before, had control of possession, what was missing was the goal. We need to improve the final pass, combinations, shots on goal."

West Ham are unchanged from the side that won 1-0 at Everton last Sunday.

That means Michail Antonio leads the line with Pablo Fornals, Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma playing just behind the forward.

West Ham: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals, Antonio.

Subs: Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Vlasic, Areola, Dawson, Noble, Diop, Masuaku, Ashby.

Tottenham made 11 changes for the midweek Europa Conference League loss to Vitesse but revert to the same starting XI that beat Newcastle last weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris, Emerson, Romero, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Lucas Moura, Ndombele, Son, Kane.

Subs: Sanchez, Gil Salvatierra, Rodon, Lo Celso, Alli, Gollini, Bergwijn, Tanganga, Davies.

Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Tottenham's trip to West Ham on Sunday.

Here are the key points from the Spurs boss:

• There are no fresh injury concerns after Thursday's Europa Conference League defeat at Vitesse, with the 11 players who started against Newcastle last weekend sitting out the trip to the Netherlands;

• Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon are the only injury absentees and will again miss out on Sunday;

• Nuno does not know when Sessegnon will be fit again: "There is no time frame yet; Matt Doherty probably next week, but Sess will take a little longer”;

• Nuno admits Dele Alli "is not in his best moment" but is determined to help him regain his best form: "He is working hard, he's committed, so we have to support and find the right solutions to give him confidence so we can have him back in the best way he can be";

• Nuno says David Moyes is doing a "fantastic job" at London Stadium. "West Ham are a very good team, the core of their team is there. A derby, a tough match, but we’ll be ready".

Mark Lawrenson takes on Elena Cole and Haydn Craven, stars of football drama Jamie Johnson, for the latest round of Premier League predictions.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

West Ham got a really good win at Everton last week in a game I had a feeling they would nick.

Tottenham's revival continued at Newcastle, where their quality came through after a difficult start and Harry Kane got off the mark in the Premier League.

This one is hard to call. I don't think there will be much between them on Sunday, or come the end of the season.

Elena's prediction: This is going to be close. 1-1

Haydn's prediction: It is hard to predict this one because both teams are very good on their day. 2-1

Find out how Lawro, Elena and Haydn think the rest of this week's fixtures will go

Ryan Fredericks and Mark Noble are back in contention for West Ham after brief injury lay-offs, with both featuring as substitutes in the Europa League win over Genk.

Top scorer Michail Antonio is set to return after being rested in midweek.

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo will revert to his strongest side after making 11 changes for Thursday's Europa Conference League defeat by Vitesse.

Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon remain sidelined.

West Ham host Tottenham in the Premier League this weekend - but what happened when the two teams last met in the top flight?

The Hammers climbed into the top four after 25 matches of the 2020-21 campaign with a 2-1 victory over their capital rivals in February.

Goals early in each half from Michail Antonio and Jesse Lingard gave the Hammers a two-goal cushion at London Stadium, before Lucas Moura's header reduced the deficit.

Jose Mourinho's Spurs struck the woodwork through Gareth Bale and Son Heung-min in the second half, but an in-form West Ham held on for a seventh win in nine league games.

• West Ham have lost their last two home Premier League games, both 2-1, after conceding winners in the 89th minute (vs Manchester United) and 90th minute (vs Brentford). They’ve not lost three consecutive home league games since a run of four under Manuel Pellegrini in December 2019 – his final four such games at the club.

• None of Tottenham’s last 14 Premier League games have ended level (won nine, lost five), their longest run without a draw in the competition since a run of 32 between April 2018 and February 2019.

• No side has used fewer players in the Premier League this season than West Ham (18), with David Moyes also making a league-low four changes to his Hammers starting line-ups this term.

• West Ham avoided defeat in both Premier League meetings with Tottenham last season (won one, drawn one) – they haven’t managed three league games without defeat against their London rivals since May 2006.

• Spurs have won three of their last four visits to the London Stadium in the Premier League, though they did lose this fixture 2-1 last season.

• Tottenham have lost each of their last four Premier League London derbies, as many as they had in their previous 17 such games combined (won seven, drawn six). Spurs haven’t lost more consecutive league derbies since a run of six between March 2003 and January 2004.

As we knew, it is all change for Tottenham in the Netherlands tonight. Eleven changes in fact.

With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min among those watching from the sofa back in London, Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo has named a completely different team to the one which beat Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday.

Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn comes in for his first appearance in five weeks following a foot injury, while there are also starts for keeper Pierluigi Gollini, midfielder Dele Alli, winger Bryan Gil and 17-year-old striker Dane Scarlett.

The bench is full of youngsters, including 18-year-old identical twins Michael and Matthew Craig.

Vitesse XI: Schubert, Doekhi, Bazoer, Rasmussen, Dasa, Bero, Tronstad, Wittek, Frederiksen, Darfalou, Openda.

Subs: Oroz, Hajek, Von Moos, Gboho, Domgjoni, Houwen, Yapi, Buitink, Vroegh, Cornelisse, Huisman, van Haveren.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gollini, Tanganga, Sanchez, Rodon, Davies, Lo Celso, Winks, Gil Salvatierra, Alli, Bergwijn, Scarlett.

Subs: Austin, White, John, Walcott, Clarke, Cesay, Matthew Craig, Michael Craig, Lyons-Foster, Markanday.
