The Premier League returns from the international break with a thrilling London derby as Spurs host fierce rivals West Ham. Tottenham aims to bounce back from a disappointing loss at Brighton, where they squandered a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2, marking it as Ange Postecoglou’s worst defeat.
Spurs look to restore their confidence against a West Ham side that had a sluggish start under Julen Lopetegui but eased pressure with a commanding 4-1 victory over Ipswich before the break, featuring a standout performance from captain Jarrod Bowen.
Lopetegui seeks to win over skeptical West Ham fans, but he will have to do so without the injured Niclas Fullkrug. Tottenham welcomes back captain Heung-min Son and Richarlison, hoping to secure their first home win over the Hammers since 1966.
