Tottenham Hotspur welcome West Ham United to North London this weekend in the Premier League – a welcome return from two weeks of international football.
The worst timing for Spurs
It really was the worst time for Tottenham to endure an international break. Fresh off the back of letting a two-goal lead slip against Brighton, Spurs fans and players everywhere have been forced to stew in those three dropped points.
What better way to get the blood pumping again than a London derby? West Ham have struggled for form at the start of the Premier League campaign, finding themselves two points below even Spurs.
A win for Tottenham would go a long way to dispelling the concerns raised on the South Coast, but a defeat could compound the troublesome headlines for Ange Postecoglou.
