West Ham head to White Hart Lane today looking to build on their impressive start back in the Premier League.
Sam Allardyce’s high flying Hammers are currently 2 points ahead of Tottenham in seventh place, and only a further one point off a Europa League spot.
West Ham will be in a positive frame on mind having won their last away game in the Premier League up at Newcastle and will got to Tottenham looking to build on their solid start. West Ham fans will also hope that Andy Carroll can break his Hammers duck and get on the score sheet today or at least supply his old mate Kevin Nolan.
West Ham News
Yossi Benayoun is still struggling with a hip injury, so is unlikely to start but may make the bench, however there is better news on the Matt Jarvis front, with the winger returning to training this week and pushing for a starting berth.
Matt Taylor also returned from a spell on the sidelines against Stoke on Monday, so Modibo Maiga and Gry O’Neil will be looking nervously at the starting sheet with both Taylor and Jarvis looking to get back in to the starting eleven.

Tottenham have had a difficult week, having lost the North London Derby at the weekend, then their fans had terrible trouble in Rome with one of them being stabbed and more injured.
