Tottenham vs West Ham

This London derby features two managers, Thomas Frank and Nuno Espirito Santo, under significant pressure.

West Ham enter the match 18th in the table, seven points from safety, though they come off a morale-boosting 2-1 FA Cup win over QPR which ended a 10-game winless run in all competitions.
