West Ham United will play hosts to Tottenham Hotspur as the two London sides lock horns on Sunday.
West Ham United have earned two important positive results following the international break. David Moyes' men matched and then bettered Everton's efforts at Goodison Park to register a 1-0 win. Their confidence will have leapt a little higher following a comfortable 3-0 win over Genk in the UEFA Europa League in midweek.
The Hammers seem to have recovered from a 2-1 defeat at the hands of newly-promoted Brentford heading into the international break. They now face the challenge of disrupting the momentum of Tottenham Hotspur, who seem to be enjoying an upturn in form in recent weeks.
Spurs' 1-0 loss to Vitesse in the Europa Conference League was rather unceremonious. But it's important to note that none of the players in Spurs' starting XI against Newcastle United were on their teamsheet.
So barring that loss, Nuno Espirito Santo's men seem to be on the road to recovery after an early slump that saw them lose three back-to-back Premier League games.
They had followed it up with three wins across the league and the Europa Conference League. The North London club won both their latest Premier League outings by narrow margins, beating Aston Villa 2-1 before registering a 3-2 win over Newcastle United last weekend.
Both Spurs and West Ham harbour top 4 ambitions this term and this will be a credible test of their credentials as they sit fifth and seventh in the Premier League table respectively.

West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
The London Stadium is usually a difficult ground to go to and squeeze out a positive result from. However, the Hammers have lost both of their last two games at home and Spurs have looked decent in recent Premier League outings.
With Harry Kane breaking his Premier League duck in the game against Newcastle United, Santo's men will fancy their chances against their London rivals on Sunday.
Spurs are also well-rested after all of their starters from the game against the Magpies were rested for the meeting with Vitesse. This could be a tight game that's likely to end as a draw.
