Tottenham vs West Ham LIVE updates, confirmed team news and ...
Hello and welcome to football.london's live coverage of Tottenham's Premier League clash against West Ham.
Ange Postecoglou and his players will be hoping that this evening's London derby in N17 is the start of the team going on a winning run once again.
Losing three Premier League games on the trot prior to last weekend's match at Man City, the point at the Etihad Stadium following a rather entertaining 3-3 draw will certainly give the Spurs squad plenty of confidence ahead of the West Ham showdown.
Spurs will be boosted by the return of Cristian Romero from suspension for the match, although it may come a bit too soon for Pape Matar Sarr to feature after his recent injury.
Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is covering the game with all the build-up and the action as it happens on the pitch and reaction from the supporters and media.
Scroll down for all of our latest updates from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Romero scores!20:28
21:26KEY EVENT
West Ham grab an equaliser. There's a touch of fortune as Kudus has a shot which ricochets off Romero and Davies right into the path of Bowen to fire past Vicario who had already dived the other way for the original shot so was out of position.

20:53Alasdair Gold
First Giovani Lo Celso, understandably full of confidence right now, sends a half volley at goal that Lukasz Fabianski pushes away. Not long after the hosts create another chance as Ben Davies intercepts a ball and Lo Celso plays in Johnson but his shot is at Fabianksi.
20:47Alasdair Gold
The home side have had 80% of the possession so far and they're getting plenty of joy down the flanks but they need to put a better final ball into the box for the other attackers to increase this lead. Both Kulusevski and Johnson have the beating of their defenders but they aren't then picking the right ball afterwards.
20:28KEY EVENT
That's the way to return! Cristian Romero loops a header into the far corner of the net from Porro's corner. He celebrates, turns to the north stand and puts his hands up, then together, then a heart to the crowd, seemingly saying sorry for the suspension.
20:23Alasdair Gold
I fear a Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg air kick just now will be doing the rounds on social media before too long.
20:17Alasdair Gold
'Champions of Europe you'll never sing that'. Not sure they realise Spurs were the first British team to win a European trophy.
