Get ready for a ding dong battle at Upton Park!

Sports - November 25, 2007

West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola must make an enforced change, with left-back Herita Ilunga absent with a jaw injury.

Jonathan Spector is expected to take his place, while James Tomkins returns from a foot problem.

An MRI scan confirmed Tottenham keeper Heurelho Gomes suffered a groin injury against Hull so David Button has been recalled from Crewe Alexandra as cover.
Boss Harry Redknapp is confident Ledley King will be fit enough to play after being rested for the match with Hull.

West Ham
Suspended: None Doubtful: None
Injured: Ashton (ankle), Behrami & Boa Morte (both knee)

Tottenham
Suspended: None Doubtful: None
Injured: Bale (foot), Gomes (thigh), Woodgate (groin), Dawson (Achilles), Jenas (calf) (BBC Sport)

Well this London derby is always one both sets of supporters look forward too and clearly there is no love lost between both teams. Tottenham have come out of the blocks at full pelt this season but Gianfranco Zola’s side will be tough opponents and have also had a nice rest since their opening day victory over Wolves. Jermain Defoe is sure to get booed every time he touches the ball and there is more than likely to be a higher card count than goal tally.

My Prediction 1-1 (Two sent off)
