It's the battle of the former Manchester United managers on Sunday as David Moyes' West Ham United welcome Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur to the London Stadium for a Premier League encounter.

This was the fixture that highlighted Spurs' inability to kill off games earlier this season, as Manuel Lanzini scored a corker as the Hammers came from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 in North London.

The landscape has also been turned on its head in the intervening months - Spurs were once top of the table and are now ninth - while West Ham are nestled in the top six.

That all said, I did watch West Ham against Liverpool and I felt they were insipid; they also lacked a credible threat away to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Tottenham have really struggled since the turn of the year; and the nature of their defeats to Liverpool, Brighton and Chelsea was more alarming than the defeats themselves.

Thumping Wolfsberger of Austria in the Europa League was nothing to shout about, but perhaps it will give the Tottenham players the injection of confidence they need. They still have talented players.

England captain Harry Kane is fit again and he's always a goal threat. He was rested during the week and his goal record against West Ham is fantastic - a tally of 11 in 15 Premier League games.

Tottenham may not win, but I do think they will get chances and I am backing Kane, who has scored 13 goals in the top flight this season, to stick one of them away.

Football recommendation: Harry Kane to score anytime for Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United in the Premier League - 13/10

Good luck!
