This weekend sees Tottenham host West Ham in one of the most hotly contested London derbies of the season.

There's no denying it - Spurs and the Hammers do not like one another.

However, Spurs have more reason to smile right now as they sit 5th in the table and remain unbeaten after eleven Premier League games.

They're struggling a bit more in the Champions League but still harbour realistic hopes of getting through to the next round.

West Ham, on the other hand, are not enjoying the same luxuries.

Rather, the Hammers are embroiled in a horrible relegation scrap at the moment as they sit one point and one place ahead of the bottom three.

Their defence has struggled this season as they conceded four goals to both Watford and West Brom earlier in the campaign.

However, form is thrown out of the window when it's a derby game and the Hammers will be hoping to cause a shock this weekend.

In view of that, here's a look at FIVE of the best Hammers goals ever scored against Spurs!

They'll be desperate to recreate some of this magic on Saturday.

Ravel Morrison 2013

Ravel Morrison has long been spoken about as one of the greatest talents whose potential remains unfulfilled.

As a football fan, it’s frustrating to see someone waste their ability but at least the Hammers were able to enjoy flashes of Morrison’s brilliance.

2-0 up at White Hart Lane and already having a great day, the travelling support were treated to something extra special.

As the 21-year-old year old received the ball on the half way line, he accelerated away from the chasing Spurs players, beating a couple and turning Vertonghen, before dinking it over Lloris/

3-0 at the Lane. What a day.

 

Carlos Tevez 2007

Tevez only played for the Hammers for one season but he is still seen as a club favourite because of what he achieved there.

In 2006/07, he helped keep the Hammers afloat despite the dodgy dealings surrounding his transfer.

He scored on the last day of the season to defeat the champions, Manchester United, at Old Trafford and West Ham stayed up as a result.

His first goal for the Hammers was a cracking free-kick against Spurs and he celebrated by running to the Irons faithful.

Whilst West Ham went on to lose the game 4-3 excruciatingly, at the time, the goal was something to be loved.

Anton Ferdinand 2005

This is not a game that will have lived long in the memory of most of those present (apart from the West Ham fans of course).

Spurs were 1-0 up in stoppage time and appeared to have all three points pretty much wrapped up.

However, the Hammers won a corner and sent everyone forward including the goalkeeper - Shaka Hislop.

As a wonderfully floated ball was sent in, Anton Ferdinand drifted away from his marker and watched the ball like a hawk.

He simply guided the header towards the net and with the goalie no mans land, West Ham had equalised - sending the Hammers end into raptures.

There's nothing like scoring in the last minute against your rivals!

Yossi Benayoun 2006

This will no doubt bring back good memories for Hammers fans.

They were able to stop Spurs from reaching the top four courtesy of the Israeli international's goal.

Spurs travelled to Upton Park on the last day of the season knowing if they beat or matched Arsenal’s result, they’d finish in the top four .

But they were defeated 2-1 by the Hammers in a game most remembered for half the Spurs squad falling ill with food poisoning the night before.

With half the squad ill on the day, there were talks of postponing the game. It went ahead and Spurs fought hard but were unable to stop West Ham from winning with Benayoun netting the decider.

Matty Jarvis 2013

In 2013, West Ham had a great run in the League Cup as they reached the semi-finals before being defeated by Manchester City (in quite humiliating fashion).

But nevertheless, they still had a deeply enjoyable quarter-final.

Once again, the Hammers found themselves 1-0 down with just over 15 minutes to play.

A wonderful pass on the edge of the Spurs box completely bamboozled the defenders and left Matt Jarvis stretching down the left hand side of the area.

He reached the ball with perfect timing and using his left foot guided it into the near post, beating Hugo Lloris. Modibo Maiga won the game for them with a header a couple of minutes later.
