A new era officially begins for Tottenham today as they return to Premier League action against London rivals West Ham. This evening’s game will mark the first fixture for Spurs since the surprise departure of Daniel Levy as executive chairman.
In the stands at the London Stadium will be members of the Lewis family who will hope to oversee a return to winning ways on the pitch following the 1-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth before the international break. A testing period awaits new head coach Thomas Frank as his Spurs side will play seven games in 21 days - including the start of their Champions League campaign against Villarreal in midweek.
Graham Potter, meanwhile, is looking to build on West Ham’s impressive 3-0 win away at Nottingham Forest last time out which halted their disastrous start to the season. Victory here and the Hammers will move level on points with their fierce rivals.
