Overview
- Kick-off is 15:00 GMT at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with no live UK TV coverage due to the 3pm blackout and BBC Radio 5 Live carrying commentary.
- Both Thomas Frank and Nuno Espírito Santo face intense job pressure, with multiple reports suggesting a defeat could put their positions at risk.
- Tottenham are 14th, winless in 2026 and recently exited the FA Cup to Aston Villa, with a poor home record of four wins in their last 24 league games.
- Spurs team news includes Richarlison out for around seven weeks, further injuries to Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr at AFCON, Cristian Romero returning, and Gallagher in line to debut.
- West Ham sit 18th after a 10-match league winless run and are seven points from safety, having added January signings and coach Paco Jémez, with Lucas Paquetá a doubt, Konstantinos Mavropanos out and El Hadji Malick Diouf at AFCON.
