Hull aren't being overawed by any means here. 

They again find themselves well advanced up the field and Sam Clucas sends over a cross aimed at Adama Diomande but the Norway international is not strong enough in a challenge with Danny Rose and the chance is gone.

That was better from a Hull perspective. 

Spurs' attack broke down after a poor pass from Victor Wanyama and Jake Livermore led the Hull counter with an unchallenged 50-yard run.

The former Spurs man exchanged passes with Adama Diomande before firing in a low shot that Hugo Lloris dealt with comfortably. 

Ultimately not a great effort but an encouraging passage of play at least.

Hull are struggling to respond here and as Spurs attack again, Harry Maguire crudely hauls down Moussa Sissoko and picks up the game's first booking. 

Eriksen takes the free-kick from just his kind of range, but it comes to nothing.

Spurs are getting into their stride here. A good cross from Kyle Walker needs a fine defensive header from Michael Dawson to avert the danger.

First real opening for the hosts. Moussa Sissoko gets into a shooting postion but Hull's Curtis Davies gets his boot in the way to take the sting out of the effort.

Spurs old boy Tom Huddlestone is then called on to intervene when Christian Eriksen tries to pick out Dele Alli in the area.

Nothing much to choose between them so far. 

Spurs, it seems, have gone with three at the back, with Dier slotting in alongside Vertonghen and Alderweireld.

A lively start here. Hull got the ball into the Spurs box almost straight from kick-off then the hosts broke downfield and created an opening for Dele Alli which was charged down.

Harry Kane gets us under way.

The teams are out, the tension is building and there's a quite superb super moon above White Hart Lane.

Let's do this...

• After beginning the season with 12 games unbeaten, Tottenham have now lost two of their last three league matches.
• They have won only three of their last 13 matches in all competitions (D5, L5).
• Spurs remain undefeated at White Hart Lane this season in the league and have scored 14 times and conceded just four in those seven matches.

• Hull have five points from their last five games, having lost the previous six in a row.
• They have scored six goals in those five matches, double the tally from the six previous fixtures.

• Mike Phelan's side have conceded 32 goals this season, the second worst record in Europe's five biggest leagues behind Cagliari's 37.

Tottenham are clearly a good side but there is a 'but', and the but is there are a lot of games when they are ordinary and don't have a cutting edge. This should not be one of them.

• Hull have only won one of the 11 top-flight meetings at Tottenham (D4, L6). That 1-0 victory came in the first ever Premier League fixture between these sides in October 2008.
• Spurs have won five of the seven Premier League meetings since that defeat, drawing the other two.

After just a second defeat of the season at Old Trafford, this might have been Spurs' choice of fixture to get back to winning ways.

Six draws so far have been a frustration, as have the defeats by Chelsea and Manchester United.

While Spurs have struggled to unlock the defence of their rivals for the Champions League places recently, they will be looking forward to facing a Hull defence that have shipped 16 goals in losing five consecutive away games.

Mike Phelan's team know it will ultimately be their home form that will determine their top-flight future and will see any kind of result as a welcome bonus.

Tottenham make two changes from the defeat by Manchester United last time out, with Moussa Sissoko and Eric Dier in for Mousa Dembele, who has a foot injury, and Son Heung-min, who drops to the bench.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Wanyama, Sissoko, Alli, Eriksen, Kane. Subs: Son, Vorm, Nkoudou, Trippier, Onomah, Winks, Davies.

Visitors Hull name an unchanged starting line-up from the 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace, meaning record signing Ryan Mason must be content to start from the bench against his former club. 

Hull XI: Marshall, Maguire, Dawson, Davies, Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Clucas, Robertson, Snodgrass, Diomande. Subs: Meyler, Maloney, Jakupovic, Weir, Henriksen, Mason, Bowen.

The road from White Hart Lane to the KCOM Stadium is a long but well-trodden one.

No fewer than four current Hull players came to the club directly from Spurs, with the most recent arrival, Ryan Mason, the Tigers' record signing at £13m.

He joins ex-Spurs trio Tom Huddlestone, Jake Livermore and Michael Dawson in the Hull squad, and all no doubt keen to make a point to their former employers tonight.

Mason, however, will have to be content with a place on the bench. 

Speaking of which, here's the team news...
