Tottenham and West Ham kick off the Premier League’s return in a London derby.
Spurs were enjoying a fine run under Ange Postcoglou until they were stunned by Brighton before the international break, with Tottenham throwing away a two-goal lead at half time.
While it brought Tottenham’s five-game winning run to an end, West Ham snapped their five-game winless streak with a 4-1 victory over Ipswich, which relieved some pressure on Julen Lopetegui.
West Ham beat Spurs away from home last season and a repeat would see the Hammers leapfrog their London rivals, who will be looking to close the gap on the top four with three points.

Tottenham vs West Ham
For Ange Postecoglou’s side, this is a chance to atone for what the Spurs manager described as the “worst” defeat of his tenure as a two-goal lead was thrown away at Brighton.
The hosts could be boosted by the return of captain Heung-min Son from injury for this fixture against a West Ham side beginning to show a bit of form.

Good morning!
Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of today’s Premier League action. Saturday’s early kick off sees Tottenham host West Ham in a London derby that promises to be exciting and intense.
The Hammers defeated Spurs in their own back yard last season and come into the match with some new found confidence following a 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town.
Tottenham meanwhile suffered a disastrous 3-2 defeat to Brighton in their last match before the international break, squandering a two-goal advantage in the second half as the Seagulls emerged triumphant.
That sets the stage for today’s encounter and the question of who will come out on top.
We’ll have all the team news, line-ups and latest updates throughout the afternoon so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 12.30pm.
