West Ham vs Tottenham
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: London Stadium
Date: Saturday, 20 October
Kick-off: 3pm BST
West Ham host Tottenham in the first of two meetings between the two rivals at the London Stadium in October.
The Hammers' season looked to be back on track after taking seven points from nine against Everton, Chelsea and Manchester United but a defeat away to Brighton last time out halted that progress.
Spurs meanwhile have won their last three in the league and are sat two points off the top.

Team news
West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic is fit to face Tottenham despite returning early from international duty with Austria due to an ongoing knee injury.
Left-back Arthur Masuaku also came back early with an injury after linking up with DR Congo, but he too should be available.
Striker Javier Hernandez could return to the squad after missing the last five games with a virus but Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez, Manuel Lanzini (all knee), Andy Carroll and Jack Wilshere (both ankle) are still out.
Tottenham will be able to welcome Christian Eriksen and Mousa Dembele back for the London derby.
Eriksen has missed the last four games with an abdominal injury while Dembele has been struggling with a thigh problem.
Dele Alli (hamstring), Danny Rose (groin) and Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) all continue to miss out.
