West Ham v Tottenham Hotspur
Preamble:
You could stroll naked through London right now and no one would notice, because the entire population is indoors, parked in front of their televisions in anticipation of this massive derby. There'll be an estimated worldwide TV audience of 176 gazillion, as even the animal kingdom comes to a halt to watch a battle between two clubs who, between them, have won absolutely nothing this century. Tickets for the tie have been exchanging hands on the internet for up to a trillion times their face value and there are reports that fans have been smuggling friends into the Boleyn Ground in pockets, hip flasks and nostrils.
Teams news:
Both sides are expected to start with one goalkeeper and ten outfield players.
