LIVE: Tottenham vs West Ham

LIVE: Tottenham vs West Ham

28' All West Ham have at the moment is the long ball in behind the Tottenham defence. Going the other way, their answer to Kane looks to be simply fouling the Spurs striker.

26' Simple stop for Lloris. Antonio nods the ball on to Fornals, who unleashes a powerful first-time strike from an angle but straight at Lloris.

25' Sissoko is back on his feet and ready to return to action.

23' Son has a free-kick on the right which is cleared, but the game is stopped as Sissoko goes down holding his head after challenging for the ball on the edge of the area.

21' Kane is dropping so deep - is average position is considerably deeper than Son's - but that allows him to look up and pick passes. West Ham have no answer.

18' The 16th minute is the earliest Spurs have led by three goals in the Premier League since August 2007 against Derby County (14 minutes).

17' Kane is now enjoying the greatest start to a season in Premier League history. He has been directly involved in 12 goals (five goals, seven assists), the most ever by a player in their opening five matches of a campaign.

15' Son and Kane have now combined for 28 Premier League goals in total, the fourth-most of any combination in the competition's history. They trail Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba on 36, but could soon match both Thierry Henry and Robert Pires and David Silva and Sergio Aguero, each on 29.

14' Bowen drifts inside from the right and teases a pass through to Antonio, who shoots wide under pressure. The flag goes up for a marginal offside.

13' A good header from Hojbjerg clears a more routine corner, before Ndombele smartly escapes pressure to allow Tottenham to move up the pitch.

12' Masuaku gets down the left and wins a corner, where West Ham will hope to again threaten Lloris' goal.

11' West Ham responded well to the opener but now look a little shellshocked. There is a mountain to climb already in this game.

9' That was Kane's 10th Premier League goal against West Ham. He now has double-figures against four teams in the top flight: Leicester City, Arsenal, Southampton and the Hammers.

7' BIG CHANCE! Antonio misses from just a couple of yards out! West Ham's right-wing corner is delivered to a packed near post, where it is flicked on to Antonio in the centre of the goal, but he stabs wide.

6' Sanchez is taking a no-nonsense approach today, it seems. He rifles the ball behind for a corner after Rice's pass into the box.

6' West Ham are showing ambition again, but they need to make sure not to keep letting Tottenham in. Balbuena's risky pass forces Fabianski to rush out ahead of Son.

5' Cresswell goes for goal but, while Lloris dives, the shot always looks to be going wide.

4' A rugged Sanchez challenge on Antonio gives West Ham an opportunity to put the ball in the box or have a shot at goal from left of centre 25 yards out.

2' Son's strike was Tottenham's earliest in a Premier League match since Christian Eriksen scored in 11 seconds against Manchester United in January 2018.

1' It takes West Ham just a matter of seconds to get on the attack and let fly at goal, but Soucek's effort does not trouble Lloris.

1' KICK-OFF: West Ham get us up and running!

Tottenham won both Premier League meetings with West Ham last season. They last won three in a row against the Hammers with a run of five between March 2008 and December 2009.

Spurs make two changes, with Alderweireld and Bergwijn in for Eric Dier and Erik Lamela, but the big news is on the bench. Bale is in line for his Tottenham return. Carlos Vinicius is also among the substitutes. West Ham, perhaps unsurprisingly, are unchanged.

Subs: Darren Randolph, Andriy Yarmolenko, Manuel Lanzini, Robert Snodgrass, Mark Noble, Issa Diop, Ryan Fredericks.

West Ham (5-4-1): Lukasz Fabianski; Vladimir Coufal, Fabian Balbuena, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Arthur Masuaku; Jarrod Bowen, Tomas Soucek, Declan Rice, Pablo Fornals; Michail Antonio.

Subs: Joe Hart, Matt Doherty, Harry Winks, Gareth Bale, Lucas Moura, Ben Davies, Carlos Vinicius.

Tottenham (4-3-3): Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Sergio Reguilon; Moussa Sissoko, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Tanguy Ndombele; Steven Bergwijn, Harry Kane, Son Heung-min.

Let's get the team news in full from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium...

Moyes is set to be back on the touchline today, but the return that is prompting the most excitement ahead of this fixture could be on the pitch. A certain Welshman is in Tottenham's matchday squad.

Both sides come into this London derby on a high after big wins prior to the international break. Spurs sensationally beat Manchester United - coach Jose Mourinho's former club - 6-1 at Old Trafford, while West Ham followed up a 4-0 defeat of Wolves by seeing off Leicester City 3-0. Manager David Moyes missed both games due to coronavirus.
