Tottenham Hotspur host West Ham in a London derby this lunchtime, with Spurs aiming to bounce back from capitulation at Brighton before the international break.

Ange Postecoglou’s side looked set to earn a sixth straight win in all competitions after racing into a two-goal lead at the interval, but the North Londoners collapsed after the break to crash to defeat.

Postecoglou called the defeat at Brighton the ‘worst’ of his reign with the club and will have spent the international break pondering what went wrong at the Amex Stadium.

Spurs sit ninth in the Premier League table after an indifferent start to the campaign and Postecoglou is under pressure to address the inconsistencies in his side. The Australian’s approach has been questioned, with Postecoglou unwilling to compromise on his front-footed philosophy.
