Tasting defeat to West Ham would surely be a new low. They have offered little-to-no evidence of improvement since Potter replaced the sacked Julen Lopetegui in January and were 2-1 up at Brighton after 88 minutes last Saturday and still conjured up a way to lose. Spurs are favourites and should beat them at the London Stadium.

Postecoglou said he was "pleased" with his side's performance against Bodo/Glimt and it will help them to go into the second leg with "belief and confidence".

Tottenham will fall to 17th in the Premier League table today if they suffer defeat to West Ham at the London Stadium in a 2pm kick-off. It would put Spurs one place above the drop zone but they’re in no danger of going down with Ipswich,
