West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur will face each other in the London derby tomorrow.

The Hammers and Spurs will lock horns at London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

The match will kick off at 2pm UK time.

Tottenham will head into the match against West Ham on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Vitesse away from home in the Europa Conference League.

Spurs head coach Nuno left some of best players, including Harry Kane, back in London.

Harry Winks, Dele Alli and Davinson Sanchez are among the players who started against Vitesse in the Netherlands.

West Ham were also in action on Thursday evening.

The Hammers got the better of KRC Genk 3-0 at London Stadium in the Europa League.

Striker Michail Antonio did not play, while the likes of Angello Ogbonna and Said Benrahma were on the substitutes’ bench for the start of the game.

Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling has criticised Tottenham head coach Nuno while discussing the two teams with ex-Spurs central defender Michael Dawson on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show today.

Dawson, who is also Tottenham Ambassador, said: “They had enough to win on Thursday night with that team.”

Stelling responded: “When you are not winning, when you are losing, why haven’t you got Harry Kane on the bench? Why haven’t you got Son on the bench? Why haven’t you got some of your key players to get you out of trouble?”

The presenter added: “West Ham, when they played in midweek in a stronger competition in the Europa League, they rested Antonio, Fornals and Benrahma and Ogbonna, even the goalkeeper, they were on the substitutes’ bench, but they got it right when Spurs, Spurs got it very wrong, didn’t they?”
