COMMENT:
Tottenham Hotspur play their last match of 2009 against local rivals West Ham United on Bank Holiday Monday 28th December. Spurs come into the match at White Hart Lane on the back of a hard-earned 0-0 draw at Craven Cottage on Boxing Day against a very good Fulham side who recently swept away Manchester United 3-0. Chances were at a premium in the game but Peter Crouch will feel hard done by after his excellent goal was cancelled-out by a poor refereeing dsecision. West Ham meanwhile enjoyed a 2-0 Boxing Day win at Upton Park against fellow strugglers Portsmouth and their three points were secured with goals from Alessandro Diamanti from the penalty spot and Radoslav Kovac just before the end.
Spurs will look to their recent fine form over West Ham which includes 5 consecutive wins in all competitions and eight wins, two draws and a defeat in the last 11 matches played. Last season, Spurs took the maximum 6 points off the Hammers with a 2-0 away win in December with goals from Ledley King and Jamie O'Hara followed by a 1-0 win at White Hart Lane with a Roman Pavlyuchenko goal in April.
The two teams met during this pre-season in the exotic location of Beijing, China where Spurs won 1-0 with a Jermain Defoe goal in the Premier League Asia Trophy. This was quickly followed by a visit to Upton Park in August for the Premier League match, which Spurs won 2-1 with goals from Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon - West Ham's goal which put them 1-0 ahead came from Carlton Cole.
TEAM NEWS:
Luka Modric played the last 20 minutes against Fulham and if there's no adverse reaction, he should start against West Ham. Ledley King made a cameo appearance after Sebastien Bassong was injured in the closing moments of the match but Harry has confirmed that there was no serious injury. King and Dawson should start on Monday. Jermain Defoe will probably return to lead the front line.
West Ham have six players out injured including Danny Gabbidon, Kieron Dyer, Zavon Hines, Carlton Cole, Calum Davenport and Luis Boa Morte.
MATCH FACTS:
Head-to-head
• Tottenham have conceded only one goal in their last four Premier League encounters against West Ham.
• West Ham have not beaten Tottenham since the last day of the 2005/06 season when they denied the Lilywhites a Champions League place with a 2-1 victory at Upton Park, and they have not won a league game at White Hart Lane since April 1999.
• Tottenham claimed the double over West Ham last season for the first time since 1994-95.
Tottenham Hotspur
• It is 15 games since Spurs drew a Premier League home match, which was a stalemate against Arsenal in February. They have won 12 and lost three (v Manchester United, Stoke City and Wolves).
• The last time Spurs kept four clean sheets in a row within the same season in the Premier League was in the 2000-2001 season (13/1/01-10/2/01).
• They have ended the year on a losing note in two of the last three years.
West Ham United
• West Ham have not won a London derby in the league in their last seven attempts since prevailing 3-1 at home to Fulham in January 2009.
• The Hammers have scored all seven of the penalties they have been awarded this season, a league high.
• West Ham are without a win in any of their last eight Premier League away games.

MARK LAWRENSON'S PREDICTION (BBC):
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp had striker Jermain Defoe on the bench against Fulham but I think he will unleash him against his former team. Spurs have started to show defensively they can keep clean sheets and with that base you have to fancy them as they have pace and power in all areas.
West Ham got a really good win over Portsmouth. It was a bit of a six-pointer. They are good at home but have problems away. Under a serious examination against Tottenham I don't expect them to hold out.
Verdict: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 West Ham United

West Ham United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
23rd August 2009, Premier League, The Boleyn Ground (Upton Park)
Aaron Lennon kept up Tottenham's 100% start to the season as he grabbed his side's winner at West Ham.
Lennon cut inside defender Jonathan Spector and angled a powerful left-footed strike into the far corner.
West Ham had taken the lead when Carlton Cole scored with a spectacular 22-yard strike on the turn.
But Jermain Defoe levelled when he smashed in after latching on to Cole's horrendous backpass, and Lennon's late goal sealed three points for Spurs.
It is the first time in 49 years that Tottenham have won their first three league games of the season - and during that 1960/61 campaign the Londoners took victory in their first 11 games on their way to claiming the old First Division title.
The win also gave extra credence to belief in some quarters that they are good enough to break into the top four and challenge for a Champions League place, particularly as they had to come from a goal down at Upton Park to earn three points from a testing encounter.
Spurs certainly had an air of confidence and authority about them as they stroked the ball around trying to unlock the Hammers defence but found their London rivals in resolute mood.
West Ham may be a work in progress and not as established as the Spurs side but they have a similar style.
Both teams like to pass the ball around and complement some of their more cultured stars with a midfield enforcer - Scott Parker biting into tackles for the Hammers and Wilson Palacios doing the same for Tottenham.
Cole should have put the hosts ahead a lot sooner than he did but he had a tame shot saved after being put through on goal - although there was a suspicion he was offside.
Sebastien Bassong poked a shot wide at the other end, and Ledley King looped a header against the crossbar from a Luka Modric free-kick as Spurs tried to gain the upper hand.
King had to be at his defensive best to block a Jack Collison shot after Cole had held the ball up and laid it into the path of his team-mate.
England striker Cole was producing a mixed performance and he left Hammers fans shaking their heads when he failed to react quickly enough to tap in a Junior Stanislas' low cross.
But Cole struck a spectacular opener to atone for that miss as he flicked the ball up and smashed in a shot on the turn.
The West Ham striker's effort would have impressed watching England manager Fabio Capello, but he then ruined his performance with a shocking mistake.
Cole's misplaced pass put rival forward Defoe clean through on goal and the in-form Spurs man powered in a shot for his fourth Premier League goal of the season.
Jimenez had a header scrambled away by Spurs keeper Carlo Cudicini as the game opened up but it was the visitors who looked the more accomplished.
A feature of Spurs' play this season has been the way they have applied pressure high up the pitch.
And their pressure told when Lennon, who had drifted in and out of the match, arrowed in a shot to put Spurs top of the table on goal difference.
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola:
"When you play well and lose like we did you are disappointed.
"You can't afford to make any mistakes, especially against teams like Spurs.
"The first goal was a creation from Carlton Cole. He made a mistake but he is an intelligent guy and I think it will make him better in the future."
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp:
"To come back from 1-0 down, it was a big win for us.
"It's early doors and a great start but that's all. We just have to keep going and see where that takes us.
"We have Birmingham, Manchester United and Chelsea coming up so we have got some hard games. It will be interesting to see how we shape up."
