"Two under-pressure managers clash in a crucial London derby on Saturday, with both Thomas Frank and Nuno Espirito Santo in need of a win. Spurs will be the favourites as they take on relegation-threatened West Ham, but there will be plenty of nerves on both sides. Tottenham have won just two of their 10 home games in the Premier League, but could they be boosted by the return of Mohammed Kudus?"
"But a return against former club West Ham will not be happening, with the Ghana international set for a longer spell on the sidelines.

That is one where we expect him back after the March international break, Frank said earlier this month."
Mohammed Kudus is sidelined with a quadriceps tendon issue and is expected to return after the March international break. He suffered a thigh injury on 4 January and will miss upcoming matches, leaving Tottenham without a key attacking option. Spurs also lack Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, stretching squad depth. Tottenham have won only two of ten Premier League home games and sit 14th, increasing pressure on manager Thomas Frank. The club added Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid to bolster midfield. West Ham have struggled to replace Kudus's previous contributions.
