With the National Football League contest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium now complete, the giant, modern venue at White Hart Lane can now work shift back into Premier League, instead of NFL, football mode. The Chicago Bears, who beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-16, will soon be on their way home while West Ham United will be coming to face Spurs on Saturday.
Meanwhile the Jags will stay in old London town, to take on the New England Patriots, but this time it will be at Wembley Stadium.

West Ham Team News vs Tottenham
None really, as they have a nearly fully fit squad, which we covered already here. As we’re doing this preview insanely early (hey, it’s international break, what other options do we have?), we’ll be sure to update this article accordingly, should any injuries arise over these last few days of international matches.
Otherwise watch for the rest of our London derby previews in the early portion of this week.
