  1. 'We will see whether the rumours are true'published at 19:52 British Summer Time 5 May 2017

    Mauricio Pochettino says Kyle Walker remains focused on Spurs, despite rumours linking the England right-back with a move.

    There have been reports Walker, 26, is unhappy after being left out of the side in favour of Kieran Trippier for the Premier League win over Arsenal and the FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea.

    "All 21 players are focused to help achieve the things we want to achieve," said Spurs boss Pochettino on Thursday.

    "I am so calm. The players are calm. It's important that the fans know that the players are calm and we will see at the end of the season whether the rumours are true."

    Nathan: Without doubt the Arsenal team of 07/08, built around Fabregas and youth. Single-handedly got me back into football.

    Tony: The Portugal teams of the early 2000s with Rui Costa, Figo, Deco, a young Ronaldo, and should have won Euro 2004  

    Rob, Waterlooville: Southampton 81 to 84 - League runners up, Cup semi... Keegan. Armstrong. Moran.. and er Reuben Agboola too! Great football team though... 

  3. 'All about the win'published at 19:47 British Summer Time 5 May 2017

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: The most important thing is to try to win today, because we can't speak about being better, it's all about the win today.

    "It's a good opportunity for us to win, to try to be alive in the title race, that's so important for us, to keep hope of catching Chelsea."

  4. 'They need points, we need points'published at 19:45 British Summer Time 5 May 2017

    West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "This is a big match anyway. It is a derby, whether you need the points or not, it's a derby game against Spurs at our stadium.

    "They need points, we need points, so it is a massive game for us and a massive game for them. We will try to get the points that will mathematically secure our status."

    The Hammers are seven points above the drop zone with three games to left.

    We just need that atmosphere to build a little bit more. There are 20 minutes to go and it is not quite at the fever pitch you want for a big game.

    Garry Clemente: Hungary 1954. Puskas, Kocsis, Hideguti, Czibor. Beating England 7-1, 31-game unbeaten streak. Inflicting Uruguay's first defeat in the World Cup. Surely no real argument. 

    Valentine: Let's face it, the current Belgium team ain't gonna win anythng with Roberto at the helm 

    Tom Farr: Big shame no-one could conjure a formula for Becks, Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, Cole, Terry & Ferdinand. We had something there 

  7. 'Another final'published at 19:40 British Summer Time 5 May 2017

    West Ham v Tottenham (20:00 BST)

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld: "It's another final for us and it will be tough to beat them. They will be hungry but we are as well.

    "The nine wins so far have come with a lot of effort so we have to give everything and see where that takes us."

  8. 'Closest Spurs team team to title in 30 years'published at 19:39 British Summer Time 5 May 2017

    Jonathan Pearce
    BBC Match of the Day commentator

    I've said on the BBC that in 30 years of commentating on Spurs this is the closest I've seen to a Tottenham title-winning side. But they must win this.

    The 1986-87 Clive Allen goal-glut side and the Gazza-Waddle team were thrilling. But this side is more balanced, potent, secure and consistently good at the right time.

    A 10th league win on the spin for the first time since 1960 would guarantee Champions League group stage football.

    But West Ham, needing victory for mathematical safety, are on a revenge mission having been denied a win at White Hart Lane by two last-gasp Harry Kane goals in November.

    He could win it again in a fierce encounter.

    Despite the huge important of this game for Chelsea, Blues boss Antonio Conte says he might not watch the game.

    "I have my wife and my daughter arriving and there is the possibility to have a dinner together in London," he added. "It's a good chance to be together."

    Get a takeaway in and watch it in front of the TV, Antonio.

    Alec, United fan, Cumbria: The Liverpool side of 1985, or the United side of a decade later must be the best domestic sides to end the season trophyless. I admire Spurs, and wish them every success, but the trophyless United side of 1998 would run rings around them. 

    Nelberto: Didn't see them but has to be Hungary '54.

    Ope: it has to be Keegan's Newcastle, because the core of the Dutch side won a hat-trick of the old European Cup from 1970 to 1973

    That's what Lawro thinks, but what do you reckon? There's still time to get your prediction in for the score of this game as well as the other games this weekend using our Premier League Predictor.

  14. 'I think the title is beyond Spurs'published at 19:18 British Summer Time 5 May 2017

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    West Ham have only won one of their past 11 games and speculation over manager Slaven Bilic's future does not look like it is going away.

    Tottenham, meanwhile, just keep on winning - if they pick up three points at the London Stadium, it would be their 10th victory in a row.

    Spurs don't concede many goals and the way they are winning is very impressive, as well as the results themselves. It is very difficult not to back them at the moment.

    I still think the title is beyond Tottenham because I do not see Chelsea slipping up - but I don't see Mauricio Pochettino's side dropping points either.

    Lawro's prediction: 0-2

    West Ham v Tottenham (20:00 BST)

    Mauricio Pochettino names a familiar-looking XI for the visitors. All the big names are there - including Kyle Walker.

    The England right-back, whose Spurs future has been subject to speculation this week, returns in place of Kieran Trippier.

    That's the only change from the weekend's St Totteringham's Day-busting win over arch-rivals Arsenal.

    West Ham v Tottenham (20:00 BST)

    Andy Carroll was hoping to be fit after a groin injury - but he's not. That means Argentine striker Jonathan Calleri, who has only managed one Premier League goal this season, continues up top.

    Skipper Mark Noble returns in central midfield, with wing-backs Aaron Cresswell and Sam Byram also returning in three changes from last weekend's bore draw at Stoke.

    Matt Dixon: In my lifetime - several Dutch teams from the late nineties onwards. 

    David Jessop: Can't split the Brazil team 1982 and Netherlands 1974

    Tony Lazarus: Undoubtedly Brazil in 1982 World Cup, Eder, Zico, Falcao, Socrates etc.

    Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker returns to the starting line-up.

    This Spurs team will definitely win something if the core pieces stay together. Far too much talent. Only a matter of time.
