Tottenham has rattled off six straight wins and can go top of the table with a win on the road at Upton Park as they take on West Ham United at 2:45 p.m. ET live online at NBC Sports Live Extra. Tottenham has not been top of the table in March or later since 1964.
The Hammers could also use the points, very much still in the hunt for a European place, sitting with 44 points in sixth place, just one back of Manchester United and three behind Manchester City in the final Champions League place.

Spurs are missing influential midfielder Dele Alli from the starting lineup, but he does appear in the squad on the bench. Mousa Dembele is not recovered from his groin stran and misses out, as does Tom Carroll who picked up an Achillies problem.
Meanwhile, Diafra Sakho makes the squad for the first time since November, having recovered from his thigh injury enough to appear on the bench. Winston Reid, Joey O’Brien, James Tomkins and Enner Valencia are all injured and unable to make the squad. That leaves Emmanuel Emenike to make just his second start for West Ham up front.
