Good afternoon everyone and welcome to live coverage of the London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham in North London.
Both sides come to this showdown in decent form. Spurs have scored for free this season and are unbeaten in their last three Premier League games, reaching this freshly destroyed 6-1 at Manchester United at Old Trafford a fortnight ago.
Meanwhile, West Ham have won their last two matches against Wolves (4-0) and Leicester City (3-0) when Dabvid Moyes returns to the touchline today after his period of self-isolation after testing positive for COVID-19. .
José Mourinho has the advantage over Moyes when the two have met on the bench with the Spurs manager undefeated in 14 games against the Scotsman.
Mourinho could give Gareth Bale a second Spurs debut this afternoon. The Spurs coach has been asked the question several times in recent days and the most he gave was that the Welshman would “probably play” on Sunday, but if not Thursday, in the Europe group stage game. Tottenham League against LASK.

For the Hammers, they won’t have their new top pick, Said Benrahma, as his loan from Brentford didn’t register in time to be part of the team Sunday. Another new face of Craig Dawson is likely in the bank.
Mourinho is missing in another part of the field Young Lo Celso and Japhet Tanganga was injured and Eric Dier was considered a major concern after returning from England service with a hamstring problem.
West Ham emerged unscathed from the international break and have a near-fit squad to choose from when Moyes returns to the bench.
