Tottenham face a huge top-four clash on Sunday afternoon with West Ham making the trip across the capital. Winning on Wednesday evening with a 2-0 triumph away at Brighton, another three points will put Antonio Conte's men in a very good position to really kick on after this month's international break.
However, it certainly won't be easy with the Hammers travelling to N17 in confident mood after their superb 2-0 Europa League victory over Sevilla on Thursday evening. West Ham also currently find themselves above Spurs in the table on goal difference at present, although the east London club have played one game more than their rivals.
So how exactly should Tottenham line up against David Moyes' men? We got our three Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold, Rob Guest and Emma de Duve to pick the XI they would select.

Any late injuries aside, this has to be a simple decision for Antonio Conte and that's to keep an unchanged side. That's in part because the players in the starting XI deserve to go again but also because those who have come off the bench have not really pressed their claims.
The news that Oliver Skipp could perhaps be back for the Newcastle match after the international break will bring another challenge to the central midfielders but with Ryan Sessegnon out for another four weeks at least before he can challenge Sergio Reguilon, Conte is selecting his strongest starting XI.
He might feel he needs to freshen things up in some areas but with West Ham having one day less to prepare for Sunday's game and having played 120 minutes against Sevilla, they are not going to come into the game at their freshest.
Gold's team: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

It really is a very easy decision Antonio Conte has on his hands ahead of Sunday's crucial game against West Ham. Barring any late injuries, the Italian should resist the temptation of making a change here and there and instead field the same XI after the midweek win.
There's certainly no need to alter his favoured back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies, while any change at right wing-back with Emerson Royal coming in surely would have come in midweek given the importance of this game. Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg deserve to start again in midfield, thus meaning Harry Winks has to continue biding his time on the bench.
In attack, Conte can again opt for his strongest front three of Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, with Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura as his options from the bench if required. If Spurs can get three points on the board then it should give everyone a big lift ahead of the final push.

Sunday is a big chance for Tottenham to not only end their win/lose trend but also get a much-needed three points in the ongoing battle for a spot in the top four. With no further injuries for Conte, it would seem most likely that he will stick with the same squad that beat Brighton on Wednesday.
Spurs can hopefully take some momentum from the midweek game into the London derby and the consistency in the lineup can hopefully help them create some consistency in their performances. Not only will three points help them in the league table but it will also mean they can go into the international break with a win, which will be a boost when they return.
Although a number of players will be going off to play for their country, Sunday is one last push before the break and so Conte will hope his side can build on the performance from Wednesday, sticking with the positives from it and working on the areas of improvement. There will be hope that Son can return to his top form and Kane can continue his goalscoring ways, whilst the back line will need to remain strong against a tough West Ham side.
