Location aside, there has not been much in common between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United this season.The London rivals both qualified for European competition in the last campaign, but West Hams summer move to the London Stadium has contributed to a dreadful start to this one.Perhaps a visit to White Hart Lane on Saturday will motivate the Hammers enough to generate something positive.The Hammers (3-2-6) return from the international break with just 11 points to their name -- not to mention an embarrassing exit from the Europa League during the qualifying stage.Slaven Bilics side have conceded 20 Premier League goals, a tally that is only better than the three clubs below the east Londoners in the table. West Ham have totaled just 11 goals, making them among the most goal-shy in the division.In contrast, Tottenham (5-6-0) are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League and have conceded a league low six goals.Mauricio Pochettinos Spurs go into this pre-Christmas stretch with the top of the table just five points above them, yet all is not quite as rosy as it seems in the Tottenham garden. They may be unbeaten, but the north London club failed to win any of their seven matches in all competitions in October, drawing four times in the league and recording two defeats and a draw in cup competitions.In October they didnt win a game, Bilic reminded journalists this week. But on the other hand, they are the only unbeaten team and probably they are not overwhelmed by October because they are aiming to win the league this year.They are doing a good job and they had a couple of injuries also. They are solid and electric. But this game is a good opportunity because we have improved, and if we play good, we have a chance no matter who we are playing.This encounter will be the final league meeting between the two clubs at the Lane before it is demolished in the summer to make room for a new stadium due to open in 2018.The Hammers have won just one of their last 15 league matches at the Lane, but have enjoyed a relatively successful time of things at the ground in recent years, picking up that lone victory and a further draw in the past three league visits.However, dealing with the attacking threat of Spurs striker Harry Kane has also been a problem for the Hammers in recent memory, with the England forward scoring three goals in his last three games against the London rivals. And West Ham have been warned that Kane may be ready to start only his second league game in two months after shaking off an injury.We will see about Harry and whether he is ready to play 90 minutes, Pochettino said on Thursday. The training was good after the international break, but he felt a bit tired because it was hard training from Monday until Thursday.But yes maybe he can play 90 minutes. He is in good condition.However, there was less good news about Spurs centre-back Toby Alderweireld, who is taking longer to recover from a knee injury than expected.From the beginning we believed that it was not a big issue but then it was very slow to recover, the Spurs boss said. It was a very strange thing that happened with him and the process is very slow. He is nearly ready -- nearly.Its true that two or three weeks ago I gave the same information but now he is very, very close to starting to train with the team.Spurs are also set to be without Erik Lamela and Ben Davies for Saturdays game, while Dele Alli, Mousa Dembele, Vincent Janssen and Christian Eriksen are doubts.West Ham are in the midst of something of a defensive injury crisis, with first-choice centre-backs James Collins and Winston Reid both facing late fitness tests, and Reece Oxford and Sam Byram both expected to be out. Perennially injured striker Andy Carroll remains on the sidelines with a knee problem.Greg Allen Jersey . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.
