The Premier League returns after the international break with a London derby as Tottenham host West Ham.

For Ange Postecoglou’s side, this is a chance to atone for what the Spurs manager described as the “worst” defeat of his tenure as a two-goal lead was thrown away at Brighton.

The hosts could be boosted by the return of captain Heung-min Son from injury for this fixture against a West Ham side beginning to show a bit of form.

After a difficult start to life under Julen Lopetegui, a much-needed win was secured in style against Ipswich in their last outing.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

Ange Postecoglou is hopeful that Heung-min Son and Richarlison will be available to return to the Tottenham squad after injury lay-offs. Lucas Bergvall suffered a “slight niggle” while away with Sweden but Postecoglou suggested the young midfielder could feature. Wilson Odobert remains absent though is moving closer to fitness.

Niclas Fullkrug has missed West Ham’s last five games in all competitions and will again miss out. Julen Lopetegui could stick with a similar side to that which beat Ipswich 4-1, though cautioned ahead of the match that some of his squad had been late back from the international break.
