It is to be hoped that the headlines are driven by what happens on the field, rather than off it where it is to be expected that Tottenham’s fans will sing what they want, which will not sit well with the police. The potential for conflict bubbles between these rivals yet Tottenham simply intend to extend their solid start. Only Olivier Giroud and John Terry have scored against them in 11 games so far. West Ham need a tonic after a poor spell. David Hytner
