Premier League returns with a London derby in the lunchtime kick-off
Tottenham attempt to get back to winning ways in the Premier League as they host London rivals West Ham.
Spurs entered the international break off the back of a hugely disappointing 3-2 defeat at Brighton that saw them collapse from being 2-0 up at half-time, undermining the run of five straight victories they had previously strung together across all competitions.
It means the pressure is back on Ange Postecoglou’s side and the visit of the Hammers is hardly the ideal return to domestic duties.
After a difficult start to the season themselves, Julen Lopetegui’s outfit lifted at least some of the early pressure by making light work of struggling Ipswich in a 4-1 win earlier this month.
Tottenham vs West Ham is scheduled for a 12:30pm BST kick-off time today, Saturday October 19, 2024.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London will host the contest.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, with coverage beginning at 11am.
Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers will also be able to watch the action on a live stream online via the Discovery+ app.

Captain Heung-min Son and Richarlison are both expected to return in a major boost for Spurs, while Lucas Bergvall is set to shake off a knock suffered on international duty with Sweden earlier this week.
This game will come too soon for Wilson Odobert, but the French winger is expected to resume first-team training next week following a hamstring injury.

The Hammers have been missing summer signing Niclas Fullkrug in recent weeks and the striker will not be fit to return for the derby. Otherwise the visitors have a clean bill of health.
It’s always difficult to predict games accurately after the international break, but Spurs can surely be expected to start with real intensity after that Brighton collapse.
West Ham have largely struggled this season, and this could be another frustrating afternoon.
