Tottenham look will look to bounce back from successive defeats as they face West Ham in a London derby on Sunday. Antonio Conte has seen his side humbled 4-1 ...

The Sweden winger, still only on loan from Juventus, was a constant threat in that area of the pitch, and had two shots from eight touches in the box, as well as creating big chances with 3 of his 18 final-third passes. Emerson Royal's opener came from a marauding run up the right flank from the Tottenham wing-back, a flank which Dejan Kulusevski dominated from minute one. That 2-0 victory sends Spurs above Newcastle in the Premier League table to occupy fourth spot, albeit having played one game more than the Magpies.

Tottenham will be eager to secure three points and get back to winning ways against West Ham after registering two consecutive defeats against Leicester and ...

A dismal 4-1 defeat to Leicester followed by a meek 1-0 loss to an out-of-form AC Milan side on Tuesday showed the very worst, exposing a lack of quality in defence and depth across the side. 28min: West Ham back on the ball and applying a bit of pressure to Spurs now. Hello and welcome to Sportsmail's live blog for this afternoon's fixture between Tottenham and West Ham. Especially with Lukasz Fabianski yet to make a save in the visitors' goal. Spurs counter through Kulusevski but his final ball into the box is neither a shot nor a cross as it evades Harry Kane's head at the back post and fails to get within a couple of yards of the target. 22min: Cameras turn to a grim looking Son Heung-min on the bench. To be fair he may have been offside but I think David Moyes will be happy with his side's start here. Bowen threads a through ball into the Spurs box that Tomas Soucek only misses out on diverting towards the target with a slide. Much like the hosts though, there is not a lot of adventure about their play. 90+3min: Ivan Perisic is booked for a really poor challenge to give West Ham a free-kick out wide. Can't say I'm surprised to see that we are still waiting for our first shot on target... 72min: Of course he had to score.

West Ham are without Lucas Paqueta while Said Benrahma drops to the bench following their draw with Chelsea last weekend. Flynn Downes and Tomas Soucek are ...

On the psychological challenge of being in the bottom three, Moyes said: “Most of the players have been here before, a lot of them know how to handle it. The home side deserved the victory following a much-improved second-half performance in which Richarlison and Kane could have scored. “He sent some texts to the bench and they transferred it to me. “I follow the project of his work and I use my experience. But I don’t know - if he feels well and without pain then he will come back.” Sometimes he tells us to wait and sometimes he asks what we feel about players and their stamina."

It's the last match of what's been a thrilling Premier League game week and we're hoping for plenty of goals and drama to see us out. 63rd min: West Ham just need to soak up the pressure a little as Tottenham are on the front foot. The Brazilian hasn't scored a goal for Spurs since September. Tomorrow we have to organise this, we have to organise the team, what do you think?'. 25th min: Ogbonna absolutely flattens Kane when attempting to win a header but Spurs don't make the most of the resulting free-kick. Then coming closer to the game, the stress of it all, it created some problems. He's only been on the pitch a matter of minutes but Son has his goal! 86th min: A few big tackles flying in now and the Spurs crowd are enjoying every bit. Newcastle have already beaten Spurs this season and you already feel Conte's side can't afford to lose the return leg in April. Nothing really clicked in the first half for Spurs, it was all a bit too slow and no real sense of urgency. If Son and Kulusevski can rediscover the form that once made those two and Kane one of the most feared front-threes in the league, then any realistic challenge for the top four will surely stem from there. Granted, he's been starved of the minutes and starts he'd like but the key today was seeing his link-up play with Kane and Kulusevski not quite click in the final third.
