Two of the Premier League's more watchable sides face off at White Hart Lane on Sunday, with Tottenham Hotspur playing host to West Ham United. These sides are currently locked level on points, with Spurs edging the Hammers into fifth place only by virtue of their greater goal difference. Mauricio Pochettino has witnessed his side lose just once all season, with that defeat coming away at Manchester United on the opening matchday. That's certainly no mean feat for a side notorious for their inconsistency.

However, the Hammers have arguably been equally impressive, with manager Slaven Bilić having made a great impression since arriving in the summer. Bold enough to play attacking football with silky foreign imports, the Croatian coach has overseen six wins in their first 12 league games. Only Manchester City and Leicester City have scored more goals than West Ham so far this season.
Key player: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
Spurs striker Harry Kane made a slow start to the new season, though the 22-year-old appears to be back to his very best form. He's scored six goals in his last four domestic matches in all competitions, including the opening goal in the draw against north London rivals Arsenal before the international break. Anyone who thought him a one-season wonder is being emphatically proven wrong.
When they last met: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 West Ham United, Feb. 22, 2015
Spurs staged a remarkable comeback when these sides last met in Feburary. West Ham went up 1-0 midway through the first half courtesy of a goal from Cheikhou Kouyaté, and Diafra Sakho appeared to put the game to bed with a second just past the hour. However, Danny Rose pulled one back in the 81st minute, before Kane netted the all-important equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Tottenham Hotspur injuries and suspensions
Out: Nacer Chadli, Alex Pritchard (ankle); Erik Lamela (suspended). In doubt: Mousa Dembélé (calf).
West Ham United injuries and suspensions
Out: Enner Valencia, Dimitri Payet (ankle); James Collins (suspended). In doubt: Alexandre Song (fitness); Pedro Obiang, Diafra Sakho (thigh).
Spurs will certainly be without attackers Chadli, Pritchard and Lamela, though they’re hoping to have midfielder Dembélé back from a calf injury in time for the match.
West Ham are still without their finest creative talent in Payet, while striker Valencia’s long-term layoff will continue. Song could make his long-awaited return to midfield, while Obiang and Sakho also face late fitness tests.
