In the latest London derby, Tottenham Hotspur is set to host West Ham United. Spurs have had a strong start to the season but have faced some injury issues, leading to a recent four-match winless run. This has caused them to slip down to fifth place in the league standings.

They almost extended their lead just before halftime when Zouma turned Lo Celso's cross against his own post. As the second half began, Tottenham continued to maintain their lead, dominating possession and creating several goal-scoring opportunities.
