Tottenham Hotspur travel to West Ham United with revenge on their minds this weekend after the Hammers ruined their title challenge last season.
It was at the London Stadium back in May where Mauricio Pochettino’s side lost 1-0 to hand the Premier League title to bitter rivals Chelsea.
It was a year on from another away defeat to the Hammers which started Spurs’ demise in their bid to catch Leicester City too.
So the North Londoners are very much seeking a measure of revenge with the goal of getting a title bid back on track this season after an inauspicious start to the new league campaign.
Pochettino looks set to make as many as seven changes to the side which edged Barnsley out of the Carabao Cup in midweek.
Serge Aurier should come in at right back after impressing in the win over Borussia Dortmund and the draw with Swansea City last time out in the Premier League.
Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies also come back into the defence in front of Hugo Lloris, who will replace Michel Vorm.
Eric Dier will line-up alongside Moussa Dembele in the heart of midfield with Victor Wanyama’s recent knee injury likely to see him make the bench at best.
Dele Alli will have gained confidence after scoring the winner against Barnsley in midweek while Christian Eriksen will be refreshed having been an unused sub for that game.
The same applies for star man Harry Kane who will replace Fernando Llorente up front.
Spurs face a West Ham side rejuvenated of late after a dreadful start to the season.
The Hammers have kept three clean sheets on the bounce and look a lot more resolute in their new 3-4-2-1 formation.
