Tottenham is coming into the quarters of the Capital One Cup reeling from their dominating loss against Liverpool from the weekend in English Premier League play and with Andre Villas-Boas leaving as manager, the club now faces West Ham United and the match will be at White Hart Lane, which is where the embarrassing defeat was and it will be streaming on beIN Sport Play at 7:45 PM GMT.
The match offers a chance for the Spurs to get back on track ahead of their holiday Premier League schedule and that will be crucial as they try to hang tight on the EPL table. The Spurs next play against Southampton at Friends Provident St Mary's Stadium and then the team plays against West Bromwich and Stoke City in December before a huge matchup with Manchester United on January 1 and that starts a very tough stretch for the team, as they next play against Arsenal and the Gunners are currently leading the table standings.
Tottenham had a very tough loss against Liverpool on Sunday and that match saw Luis Suarez score two more goals to lead the English Premier League and he has been having a great season on the EPL. Tottenham won in the EPL over Sunderland and Fulham and now they have a very tough schedule ahead of them as they bring in a new manager. Tim Sherwood will be coming in to take over for now and while West ham comes into White Hart Lane as the underdogs, the way the Spurs are playing, they won't underestimate anyone.
Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen and Andros Townsend will have pressure on them and with West Ham coming in with a number of tough results, this is the time to take advantage for the Spurs. Tottenham fell to seventh on the Premier League table after their results over the weekend and now they are above Manchester United after 16 matches and the team has a number of teams to catch up with, as the Gunners are leading and Arsenal is tops over Liverpool after their win against the Spurs and behind them on the table are Chelsea, Manchester city and Everton ahead of Newcastle United.

Ki sung-Yueng drove in an extra-time winner to take the Premier League's bottom club Sunderland into the League Cup semi-finals with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Tuesday.
Ki smashed home in the 118th minute after being teed up by Fabio Borini, who had come off the bench to force extra time with an 88th-minute equalizer.
In the night's other quarter-final, Edin Dzeko scored twice as free-scoring Manchester City booked their place in the semi-finals with a 3-1 win at second-tier Leicester City.
Chelsea, third in the Premier League, looked on course to reach the last four after taking the lead when goalline technology adjudged that a combination of Frank Lampard and Sunderland's Lee Cattermole had bundled a cross over the line.
But they were pegged back two minutes from time when on-loan Borini steered an expert finish past two Chelsea defenders on the line from a tight angle.
The hosts then laid siege to the Chelsea goal and were rewarded two minutes from time when Ki smashed home a low drive to send the home crowd wild.
Chelsea won the competition twice in Jose Mourinho's first spell at the club, but with a busy Christmas schedule looming in the Premier League, they made eight changes from their weekend team.
The fringe players, however, did little to push their cases and found themselves chasing possession for much of the opening 45 minutes before taking the lead a minute into the second half.
A low cross from Azpilicueta picked out Lampard and Cattermole sliding in at the far post. The ball eventually bobbled over the line before goalkeeper Vito Mannone clawed it clear.
Referee Anthony Taylor pointed to his watch to signal the goal had been awarded by the Hawk-Eye technology installed at the ground.
The match looked to be heading towards a routine victory for Chelsea before it was brought to life in the 88th minute following the introduction of Borini.
The ball bounced free to the Italian, on loan from Liverpool, and he steered it accurately into the net from a tight angle.
Borini almost won it but his effort was expertly blocked by Gary Cahill and he perhaps should have done better at the start of extra time when he failed to make proper contact with a deep cross, unmarked at the far post.
Yet Sunderland were not to be denied and after Chelsea's stand-in keeper Mark Schwarzer had produced a superb save to turn over a header from Ki, the South Korean latched on to a pass from Borini, cut inside and drove the ball low into the net.
"This gives us momentum going into Saturday (against Norwich) and keeps the season alive," Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole told Sky Sports.
"The priority is always the league. We played extra time but this win gives us some belief." (Reuters)
