Location aside, there has not been much in common between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United this season. Yeezy Boost 750 Black For Sale .The London rivals both qualified for European competition in the last campaign, but West Hams summer move to the London Stadium has contributed to a dreadful start to this one.Perhaps a visit to White Hart Lane on Saturday will motivate the Hammers enough to generate something positive.The Hammers (3-2-6) return from the international break with just 11 points to their name -- not to mention an embarrassing exit from the Europa League during the qualifying stage.Slaven Bilics side have conceded 20 Premier League goals, a tally that is only better than the three clubs below the east Londoners in the table. West Ham have totaled just 11 goals, making them among the most goal-shy in the division.In contrast, Tottenham (5-6-0) are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League and have conceded a league low six goals.Mauricio Pochettinos Spurs go into this pre-Christmas stretch with the top of the table just five points above them, yet all is not quite as rosy as it seems in the Tottenham garden. They may be unbeaten, but the north London club failed to win any of their seven matches in all competitions in October, drawing four times in the league and recording two defeats and a draw in cup competitions.In October they didnt win a game, Bilic reminded journalists this week. But on the other hand, they are the only unbeaten team and probably they are not overwhelmed by October because they are aiming to win the league this year.They are doing a good job and they had a couple of injuries also. They are solid and electric. But this game is a good opportunity because we have improved, and if we play good, we have a chance no matter who we are playing.This encounter will be the final league meeting between the two clubs at the Lane before it is demolished in the summer to make room for a new stadium due to open in 2018.The Hammers have won just one of their last 15 league matches at the Lane, but have enjoyed a relatively successful time of things at the ground in recent years, picking up that lone victory and a further draw in the past three league visits.However, dealing with the attacking threat of Spurs striker Harry Kane has also been a problem for the Hammers in recent memory, with the England forward scoring three goals in his last three games against the London rivals. And West Ham have been warned that Kane may be ready to start only his second league game in two months after shaking off an injury.We will see about Harry and whether he is ready to play 90 minutes, Pochettino said on Thursday. The training was good after the international break, but he felt a bit tired because it was hard training from Monday until Thursday.But yes maybe he can play 90 minutes. He is in good condition.However, there was less good news about Spurs centre-back Toby Alderweireld, who is taking longer to recover from a knee injury than expected.From the beginning we believed that it was not a big issue but then it was very slow to recover, the Spurs boss said. It was a very strange thing that happened with him and the process is very slow. He is nearly ready -- nearly.Its true that two or three weeks ago I gave the same information but now he is very, very close to starting to train with the team.Spurs are also set to be without Erik Lamela and Ben Davies for Saturdays game, while Dele Alli, Mousa Dembele, Vincent Janssen and Christian Eriksen are doubts.West Ham are in the midst of something of a defensive injury crisis, with first-choice centre-backs James Collins and Winston Reid both facing late fitness tests, and Reece Oxford and Sam Byram both expected to be out.

"The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. ASHBURN, Va. -- After the customary season-opening flyover, keep your eyes in the air when the Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Washington Redskins.Ben Roethlisberger and Kirk Cousins will go pass for pass in the Monday night matchup at FedEx Field. With questions in the running game on each side, look for Roethlisberger to air it out to All-Pro Antonio Brown and Co., Cousins to do the same to receiver DeSean Jackson and tight end Jordan Reed.The Steelers are without running back LeVeon Bell, suspended the first three games for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy. The Redskins will rely on Matt Jones to be their No. 1 back for the first time, but hes coming off a separated left shoulder. Guess its a good thing Roethlisberger and Cousins have plenty of weapons to throw to.Its exciting, Cousins said Wednesday. Weve said it, I remember, since the spring, that theres only one football to go around and my job is to be a good distributor, get the ball in their hands and let them see what they can do.Pittsburghs ground game can still keep Washington honest, but the matchup to watch is Brown vs. All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman. This is the first time theyre facing each other since 2014, when Norman was in Carolina and before he became a star and signed a $75 million, five-year deal with the Redskins.Thats going to be a tall task to take on, and I respect 110 percent and looking forward to what he brings, because that matchup obviously is going to be a physical one and its going to be a fun one, Norman said. I have nothing but respect for that guy.Norman also gushed about his respect for Roethlisberger, who has thrown for 42,995 yards and 272 touchdowns in his career. Big Ben keeps on ticking, even with all the hitting.Its one of those things, youre constantly learning and evolving, trying to understand the offense, get the ball out of your hands, call a quick pass, Roethlisberger said.Cousins threw for 29 touchdowns and a franchise-record 4,166 yards last season, but comes into 2016 with something to prove, playing on the franchise tag. Pittsburgh certainly isnt underestimating Cousins.I dont know what people are looking for, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. He threw for over 4,000 yards and over 25 touchdowns. The last six games of the season his quarterback rating was over 100. He needs no endorsement from me.Heres what else to watch for on Monday night between the Steelers and RedskinsTILL RUNNING: For most teams, losing an All-Pro caliber back like Bell would be lethal. Not Pittsburgh, which will rely on seeminglyy ageless 33-year-old DeAngelo Williams until Bell returns. Yeezy Boost 350 Discount. All Williams did a year ago when Bell was hurt was tie for the league lead with 11 rushing touchdowns, average 4.5 yards a carry and catch a career-high 40 passes. DeAngelo does not lack confidence by any stretch of the imagination, but thats what you want, Roethlisberger said. You want a guy who is going to step up and be ready to go, try not to miss a beat. Last year, he showed what he can do, and I think well see the same thing.START RUNNING: The Redskins running game struggled in 2015 and Alfred Morris is now in Dallas. Jones and undrafted rookie Robert Kelley are tasked with running the ball, but improving the unit is a team effort that includes Cousins, the tight ends and the offensive line. Its a great challenge for us, especially against this defense, coach Jay Gruden said. They always have been pretty dang good against the run. I was in Cincinnati for three years playing against them, and you feel like beating your head against the wall calling a running play against them sometimes.MORE THAN NORMAN: Before the Redskins signed Norman, Bashaud Breeland was penciled in as their top cornerback. He might be among the best No. 2 cornerbacks around and should see a lot of Brown because Gruden hinted that Washington will keep Norman on one side and not shadow. Were going to count on him in a big way, Gruden said recently of Breeland. He understands that, he accepts that and hes going to do great.FRESH BLOOD: The Steelers have spent the last four months aggressively trying to patch up a secondary that ranked 30th against the pass. Pittsburgh used its top two draft picks on defensive backs (cornerback Artie Burns and safety Sean Davis) and even acquired 2014 first-round pick Justin Gilbert from Cleveland over the weekend. Davis could be used in nickel packages as Pittsburgh tries to figure out a way to slow down Reed.TERRIBLE TOWELS: Remembering how Steelers fans took over FedEx Field in 2008, the Redskins are giving out burgundy rally towels to counteract the famous Terrible Towels that could be prominent. The fans travel well for the Steelers, ex-Pittsburgh and current Washington defensive lineman Ziggy Hood said.
