Tottenham and West Ham will both have a point to prove when the two sides meet in North London on Sunday. The Hammers suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of West Brom which resulted in them being knocked out of the FA Cup. The Baggies struck thrice before half time with Ideye grabbing a brace and James Morrison scoring a stunner just before half time. Berahino capped the home side's impressive performance with a goal in the second half to seal a 4-0 victory.
Tottenham on the other hand suffered a defeat at the hands of Liverpool in their last Premier League encounter and will be hoping to make up for lost ground. Their victory against arch rivals Arsenal had enhanced their claims for a place in the top four but defeat against the Reds will surely be a minor setback.
They were involved in a Europa League encounter during the midweek as they secured a 1-1 draw with Roberto Soldado getting on the score sheet. The Spaniard's spell at Spurs has not been a productive one but he has insisted he is eager to stay at the club and prove himself.
"You always try to work hard so that things go your way, but when you have a teammate like Harry Kane, all you can do is wait for your chance and try to make the most of it," Soldado said.
"I'm under contract here and my intention is to turn my situation around. I know I've got plenty more to offer. The fans love me and show me affection and I want to repay that affection with goals."
"I'm fully settled in, but I need to score goals," he said. "I feel good when I play -- I wish I could put my finger on what's gone wrong. Forwards live off confidence and taking their chances, and perhaps I haven't been as deadly as I would have expected in a number of matches.
"I have to relax a bit so that things go for me. We've got a fantastic three or four months [of the season] still to go."
West Ham on the other hand are winless in their last four matches in all competitions and manager Sam Allardyce will be looking for a win to put an end to the rumors circulating regarding his future at the club.
The former Blackburn boss will however have to do the job without new signing Nene who has been struggling with match fitness as well as Andy Carroll and the suspended Morgan Amalfitano. However the likes of Matt Jarvis, Winston Reid and James Collins are expected to feature.
