8 mins: Javier Hernandez registers the first chance of the game. He picks up the ball on the edge of the area, spots Hugo Lloris off his line and tries a curling shot which clips the crossbar on its way over.
11 mins: Tottenham are struggling to get their passing going and West Ham are breaking up play and looking for early passes in behind, the latest being to Marco Arnautovic but Hugo Lloris reads the situation and sweeps up.
13 mins: Christian Eriksen finds space on the edge of the box and fires a shot which is deflected high towards Joe Hart who opts to push the ball over for a corner. The resulting set piece comes to nothing as Harry Kane concedes a foul in the box.
15 mins: Marco Arnautovic breaks for West Ham and appears to be away as he charges into the penalty area but Serge Aurier makes a superb sliding tackle to halt the winger. West Ham are looking dangerous on the counter-attack.
17 mins: Serge Aurier concedes his second 'on-the-edge' foul and Micheal Oliver invites Harry Kane to join the conversation as the full back gets a talking to.
20 mins: Tottenham are without Moussa Dembele who is recovering from ankle surgery and wow do they miss him. Eric Dier and their other Moussa, Sissoko, are struggling to patrol the centre of the pitch.
23 mins: Just five touches for Dele Alli so far. West Ham are doing a great job in shutting out Tottenham's key players by denying them any space behind their midfield.
24 mins: Harry Kane is saved by the offside flag as Serge Aurier picks him out with a low cross and the English forward misses a tap in but the linesman spares his blushes by signalling for offside.
27 mins: Andy Carroll is making an earlier than expected appearance from the bench as he comes on for Michael Antonio. Javier Hernandez is shifted to the right with Carroll playing through the middle, deep breathes Spurs defenders.
