It's all change at Tottenham as incoming boss Postecoglou attempts to shift the club's recent wayward mindset while navigating the intense speculation surrounding key striker Kane.

Spurs are yet to play in pre-season while the Hammers have already had two outings; a 4-1 victory over Boreham Wood before their thrashing of Perth Glory. David Moyes' Europa Conference League winners will fly home after Tuesday's game and may return to the United Kingdom with some early London derby bragging rights.
