John Petrie: Bale's impact not quite what was expected so far.

Leicester make three changes to the side that was beaten 3-0 by West Ham before the international break.

Jamie Vardy misses out with a calf problem and Caglar Soyuncu has an abductor injury, with Daniel Amartey also dropping out.

It means a debut at centre-back for £32m teenager Wesley Fofana, with Dennis Praet and Kelechi Iheanacho also coming in.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Evans, Fofana, Castagne, Tielemans, Mendy, Praet, Perez, Barnes, Iheanacho.

Why change anything after dismantling the champions 7-2?

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith names the same starting eleven from that unforgettable victory over Liverpool last time out.

Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Luiz, McGinn, Trezeguet, Barkley, Grealish, Watkins.

Jarrod Bowen's shot on the turn is blocked by Harry Kane as West Ham push for an equaliser that looked so unlikely for 80 minutes of the game.

Brilliant from Yarmolenko on the right for West Ham then a great ball in from Vladimir Coufal, he just blasts it across goal hard and low and Davinson Sanchez puts it into his own goal. Game on.

Tottenham have a corner and may be tempted to keep it down there given the way the last few minutes have gone. Gareth Bale takes and opts to send the ball into the box but it is an easy catch for Lukasz Fabianski.

That's it for Son Heung-min after yet another impressive shift.

He is replaced by Lucas Moura for the closing stages.

Meanwhile, West Ham have also sent on Manuel Lanzini and Andriy Yarmolenko for Pablo Fornals and Michail Antonio.

Ten minutes to go.

So close to the hat-trick for Harry Kane!

Once again, he combines with Son Heung-min, who feeds Kane on the edge of the area and the striker slams a first-time effort against the post.

Tomas Soucek barges over Harry Kane, earning himself a yellow card and Tottenham a free kick in the process.

From the set play, Son Heung-min gets the ball and charges through the middle but his ball into the box is cut out.

Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk needs surgery on a knee ligament injury sustained in the 2-2 draw at Everton on Saturday.

The 29-year-old Netherlands defender was unable to continue following a rash challenge by Toffees keeper Jordan Pickford in the first half.

It is unclear how long he will be out for with the anterior cruciate ligament injury. He went for a scan before a specialist confirmed the extent of the injury.

Gareth Bale makes his first Premier League appearance for Tottenham since May 2013, seven years and 152 days ago – it’s the longest gap between appearances for a Tottenham player in the competition’s history.

Angelo Ogbonna takes down Steven Bergwijn and is shown a yellow card.

Son Heung-min heads away a corner as West Ham continue to plug away for a goal but time is increasingly against them.

It's almost time for Gareth Bale to make his second debut for Tottenham.

He's ready and waiting to come on and currently receiving some final instructions from Jose Mourinho.

Arthur Masuaku holds the ball up on the left and then plays in Aaron Cresswell on the overlap but Cresswell's cross is too close to Hugo Lloris.

Adam Kitchiner: OK..its time.. Bergwijn off and Bale on....

Mark Davies: C'mon. The game is won, put Bale on.
