Separated by just one point and one place in the bottom half of the Premier League, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur collide at the London Stadium on Sunday.
West Ham have had time to stew over last weekend's 3-2 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, while Spurs arrive on the back of a Europa League high, beating Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in their semifinal first leg and making history with the fastest goal ever scored at that stage of the tournament.
That momentum, though, is shadowed by domestic chaos. Tottenham were ripped apart 5-1 at Anfield in Gameweek 34, notching their 19th league loss of the season. One more, and Ange Postecoglou stands alone with the most top-flight defeats by a Spurs manager in a single campaign.
A European showdown with Manchester United may be on the horizon, but for now, survival and pride are what's at stake.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

West Ham vs. Tottenham predicted lineups, team news
Tottenham’s Europa League win came with a hefty price tag. Goalscorers James Maddison and Dominic Solanke both picked up knocks in the second half against Bodø/Glimt, and while neither injury appears catastrophic, Maddison’s condition is under review as he awaits scan results. Solanke is expected to sit out the second leg as a precaution.
Things look worse for Lucas Bergvall, who was spotted on crutches after injuring his ankle in training. Ange Postecoglou has already ruled the youngster out for the rest of the season. Skipper Son Heung-min remains sidelined with a foot issue, while Radu Dragusin continues his long road back from an ACL tear.
Postecoglou made eight changes for last weekend’s demolition at Anfield, and with injuries piling up and rotation needed ahead of Thursday, don’t be surprised if he rings the changes again on Sunday.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Gray, Danso, Davies, Spence — Kulusevski, Sarr, Bissouma — Odobert, Richarlison, Tel.
Injured: James Maddison (doubtful), Dominic Solanke, Lucas Bergvall, Son Heung-min.
Suspended: None.
While Spurs might be without Solanke, West Ham are set to regain firepower up front with Evan Ferguson back in the mix. The striker sat out the 3-2 loss to Brighton due to loan restrictions but should slot straight back into the squad for Sunday.
There was no fresh word on Edson Alvarez in Graham Potter’s press conference, but signs point to the midfielder being in contention after a back issue. Michail Antonio (leg) and Crysencio Summerville (hamstring) remain long-term absentees.
With Tottenham juggling injuries and European distractions, Potter may tweak his setup to go on the front foot—possibly ditching a centre-back to bring Niclas Füllkrug into a more attacking 4-2-3-1 shape after last weekend's 3-5-2.
West Ham predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Areola (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson — Soucek, Alvarez — Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus — Fullkrug.
Injured: Edson Alvarez, Michail Antonio, Crysencio Summerville
Suspended: none
