MATCH PREVIEW
While Tottenham fans will rightly be talking of the impact Andros Townsend has made for England over the past week or so, those of a claret-and-blue persuasion in the East End have a young talent of their own who's had quite a fortnight.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION

"West Ham's win over Tottenham last time out was a superb result. But what Hammers boss Sam Allardyce tends to do after a win like that is to try to not lose for the next few games. And it might sound daft for a team that won 3-0 at White Hart Lane, but West Ham are short of firepower."
Read Lawro's full prediction and score
Ravel Morrison grabbed everyone's attention with a wonderful individual goal in West Ham's surprise 3-0 win over Spurs at White Hart Lane, and has followed it up with two eye-catching performances for Gareth Southgate's England Under-21 side
The 20-year-old made his debut in the game with San Marino, and scored twice on Tuesday against Lithuania. Despite an on-pitch altercation with team-mate Wilfried Zaha, he does seem to have turned the corner in terms of tapping into the talent and potential we've all heard about since his time with Manchester United.
I'm intrigued to see what the rest of the season brings for him after making such a strong and promising start.
This game's an interesting one, with West Ham off-colour at home recently and Manchester City less than impressive on the road up to this point.
The Hammers have lost their last two league games at the Boleyn Ground while City have taken just one point from a possible nine on their travels.
Nonetheless, the bottom line is that West Ham have struggled to score consistently, while City are the highest scorers in the Premier League going into the weekend so they'll fancy extending their unbeaten run over West Ham to seven matches.
