Dele Alli feels that home advantage will give Tottenham Hotspur an edge over West Ham United this afternoon.
The Premier League game at White Hart Lane sees two clubs with the same number of points and only separated by goal difference go head to head.
Alli is relishing the game, a London derby, and feels that home advantage and backing from the fans can give Spurs an advantage which will allow them to take all three points from the fixture.
The young midfielder told his club's site: "We’ll just take each game as it comes and it’s no different for West Ham today. It’s not going to be easy but we have a game plan, we’ll look to stick to it and I’m sure we’ll do well.
"The match is at our place as well, the fans will be behind us to give us that extra edge and hopefully we can finish the match off by getting three points", the 19-year-old added.
