PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE: Tottenham v West Ham from White Hart Lane
FULL-TIME: Spurs 0 West Ham 0[LNB]90+4: Modric sends tame effort over the bar. That's that.[LNB]Could be witnessing the end of Tottenham's top four dream today. West Ham have been water tight at the back and they might just snatch this one. [LNB]89min: Defoe send clear by Pavlyuchenko but wastes another chance. Within seconds Bridge blocks Defoe and Tottenham's 22nd attempt on goal today comes to nothing.[LNB]4 minutes of stoppage time... [LNB]85min: Tottenham are getting so many touches of the ball outside the box but not many inside. Great defence. There is no way Spurs will score today. However, that clumsy tackle by Upson on Modric has gifted Tottenham a free kick. Up steps Bale - stunning save by Green via the bar and it's cleared for a corner.[LNB] High flier: Scott Parker tangles with Jermain Defoe [LNB]West Ham clinging to that first away clean sheet of the season.[LNB]81min: Pavlyuchenko creates an opening and his searing shot from 20 yards is well saved. Seconds later Green does it again. [LNB]This hard-earned point will move West Ham out of the bottom three and as high as 15th. Spurs will stay fifth, seven points clear of Liverpool. [LNB]Spurs sub: Hutton on for Corluka. West Ham sub: Obinna on for Cole.[LNB]71min: Noble opens up home defence but applies ignoble finish from edge of the area.[LNB]Pavlyuchenko on for van der Vaart[LNB]69min: Pavlyuchenko ready to come on. That's not going to ruffle too many claret and blue feathers.[LNB]67min: Here's tasty: Upson booked for flying foul on Defoe. Ex-Arsenal man booked for foul at White Hart Lane on home hero - is it possible to become any more unpopular? [LNB]64min: Ba's stinging 20-yarder well saved by Gomes. Corner 'ammers that ends in free kick to Spurs.[LNB] Clash of the titans: West Ham's Mark Noble (left) runs into the brick wall that is Sandro[LNB]This is now rope-a-dope stuff from West Ham. They are giving Spurs time and space outside the area but crowding them out inside it. Risky tactic. [LNB]55min: Mark Noble sends a scissors kick a yard wide on a rare claret and blue raid. Within seconds sick boy Sandro is felled by an awful challenge from Cole. [LNB]52min: Frantic defence by West Ham denies Defoe and Bale inside the area. This now has 1-0 West Ham all over it.[LNB]50min: Defoe's 100th goal for Spurs just won't come. Modric sets it up and Defoe's close-range reflex effort is very well saved by Green.[LNB]48min: Noble booked for studs-up challenge on Bale. That's two Hammers on a yellow, Noble's seventh of the season.[LNB] Midfield dyanmos: Luka Modric (left) of and Scott Parker battled for eveything[LNB]46min: Sickener: Sandro vomits pitchside. Cole sends in a snapshot that Gomes saves, the ball landing well away from the pool of Sandro's compost pile.[LNB]HALF-TIME: Spurs 0 West Ham 0[LNB]45min: Yellow card for Parker after 'tasty' challenge on Defoe. Free kick Spurs directly in front of goal 30 yards out. Van der Vaart shoots straight at Green.[LNB]Just one minute to be added on ...[LNB]43min: West Ham get their first corner. Cleared. But it comes back. Ba messes up his shot.[LNB]40min: Jinking run by Lennon down the left, shoots and his the post. Defoe scuffs rebound wide from six yards and open goal. Lennon and Bale have switched wings and caught the Hammers out.[LNB]32min: Modric creates half a yard and arrows a shot inches wide from the angle.[LNB]Tussle: Gary O'Neil (left) of West Ham and Benoit Assou-Ekotto of Tottenham battle for possession[LNB]28min: Noble fouls Defoe, free kick Spurs 30 yards out just to the right. Wasted. Ball cleared. Wayne Bridge starts an attack but Ba humbug - Demba spoons his effort tamely wide.[LNB]Bridge is playing well on his loan spell at West Ham - could be the start of a second England career and an exciting defensive partnership with new skipper John Terry. [LNB]26min: Maybe the Hammers have drawn the sting? They look tighter at the back and better coming forward.[LNB]20min: Cole put clean through by Ba and with two yards of space shoots at the keeper. Another great chance wasted by the England striker as Fabio Capello thinks about his next squad. Gaw blimey guv'nor, apple and pears, dustbin lids, etc.[LNB]19min: Van der Vaart joins the shoot and miss party from 20 yards as the West Ham defence invites the Dutchman in.[LNB]17min: Modric blasts wide from a corner as the Hammers defence sleeps...[LNB]15min: I'm sure West Ham are playing in this game because their name is on the programme but apart from one Carlton Cole demi-shot that he should have done far better with they have been chasing the shadows.[LNB] Does my bum look big in this? Gareth Bale attracts an audience as he removes his wrong-coloured shorts[LNB]10min: SPURS DOWN TO 10 MEN - Gareth Bale sent off [to take his undershorts off because they have a trace of white on them). Bale is ready to come back but the officials won't let him back on so van der Vaart hoofs the ball off. Petty behaviour from the ref and his assistant there.[LNB]8min: All Spurs - Sandro shot charged down after Lennon run. It's a corner from which Lennon blazes a shot well wide.[LNB]6min: Bale drives in low hard cross that Defoe toe ends just wide of the post. [LNB]3min: Great shot from edge of the area by Dawson smacks 'postage stamp' area of the goal and out for goal kick - escape for the Hammers.[LNB]It's very bright here at the Lane - I may have to don my Bono-type sunglasses to protect my baby blues.[LNB]2min: Bale looks full of beans - Parker and Jacobsen are double teaming on him - and fouling him.[LNB]So we're off...[LNB]Let's not forget West Ham beat Spurs at Upton Park earlier this season and have already pipped them for the Olympic Stadium so victory today would complete a notable treble.[LNB]Impeccably observed minutes silence for those that died in Japanese earthquake and tsunami.[LNB]Welcome to White Hart Lane, the only place in North London where you'll find European football for the rest of this season.[LNB]I'm back: Gareth Bale starts for Spurs[LNB]With Real Madrid set to visit in the Champions League next month, this is the place to be but for the moment Spurs need to concentrate on getting into the top four to make sure of dining at Europe's top table next season.[LNB]They are three points behind Chelsea and need to win.[LNB]And who better to face than a West Ham team in good form in the League but still in the bottom three and with just two away wins all season?[LNB]The 'Ammers are now out out of all cups but are making a fist of staying up after looking doomed a couple of months ago.[LNB]The last time West Ham won at Spurs was in April 1999 when Perfect Moment by Martine McCutcheon was No.1 in the charts - this would be a Perfect Moment for the Eastenders to end that dismal run (do you see what I did there?).[LNB]When they managed that 2-1 success on that day 12 years ago, they were managed by Harry Redknapp - whatever happened to him? - and included Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand and Arsenal legend Ian Wright in their lineup.[LNB]Happy days.[LNB]Gareth Bale makes his first start in two months for Tottenham while striker Jermain Defoe starts up front against his former club at the expense of Peter Crouch, and William Gallas is deemed fit enough to start alongside Michael Dawson in central defence.[LNB]Bale has already been sent to the dressing room by the ref to change his undershorts because they are the wrong colour...bad start for the Welshman.[LNB]West Ham's in-form striker Demba Ba starts up front alongside Carlton Cole while Lars Jacobsen is preferred to James Tomkins at right-back.[LNB]Today's teamsTottenham: Gomes, Corluka, Gallas, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Sandro, Modric, Bale, Van der Vaart, Defoe.
