West Ham United are aiming to extend an unbeaten run to four matches, having come from three goals down to draw 3-3 at Spurs last time out.

Manchester City are seeking to complete back-to-back victories for the first time this season and to leapfrog their hosts.

Sebastien Haller picked up a knock prior to the Tottenham Hotspur match last time out, but the striker has trained this week and is expected to be available for West Ham.

Kevin De Bruyne, Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake all missed Man City's midweek UEFA Champions League win over Porto, but De Bruyne and Laporte have since returned to training.

Pep Guardiola says "some of them will be [involved]" at London Stadium.
