The Hammers look to bounce back from a dramatic defeat to Newcastle as they host top-four-chasing Spurs.
Local bragging rights -- as well as European qualification hopes -- will be on the line in this derby on Tuesday, as West Ham take on Spurs at the London Stadium.
Four points off sixth-placed Manchester United in the English Premier League, David Moyes' Hammers somehow managed to lose Newcastle on Saturday. Despite taking a 3-1 lead deep into the second half, they capitulated 4-3 to the injury-ravaged Magpies.
A win against their bitter local rivals would quickly erase memories of that disaster, but another defeat is likely to further increase the discontent among certain sections of the Hammers faithful surrounding Moyes' tenure in east London.
Spurs, meanwhile, come into this match after battling their way to a 2-1 home win over plucky Luton at the weekend, and another win here will see them leapfrog over fourth-place Aston Villa and raise further hopes of UEFA Champions League qualification for next season.
