We take a look forward to Saturday's Premier League game between West Ham and Tottenham at the London Stadium.

West Ham:

The 'Hammers' will be without talisman Manuel Lanzini, who will not be risked despite returning to training earlier this week. Fellow midfielder Pddro Obiang will also miss out after picking up a knock in last Weekend's drab 0-0 draw with West Brom. Veteran defender James Collins will also not be available for selection due to an ankle problem.

Tottenham:

Spurs will once again be without Danny Rose, Victory Wanyama (both knee) and Erik Lamela, who is continuing his recovery from a serious hip problem. Ben Davies should be back fit for Mauricio Pochettino's side after shaking off an ankle injury whilst Serge Aurier is expected to start after some promising cameos. Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Huge Lloris and Toby Alderweireld will all return to the team, having been rested for Tuesday's victory over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup. 

Did you know:

West Ham have beaten Tottenham 14 times in the Premier League; their highest number of wins against a single side in the competition.

Possible line-ups:

West Ham: Hart, Reid, Fonte, Ogbonna, Zabaleta, Kouyate, Noble, Cresswell, Antonio, Carroll, Hernandez.

Tottenham: Lloris, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Aurier, Dier, Sissoko, Davies, Eriksen, Alli, Kane.
