Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs. West Ham United

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United go head to head at White Hart Lane this weekend with both sides hoping to edge nearer to the top four of the Premier League table.

The Hammers currently sit two points ahead of their North London rivals following their 1-1 draw with Stoke City on Monday and they will be hoping to extend their three-game unbeaten run to four.
