The manager recalls all too well the events of last season and is determined to  buid on ths season recent improvement by the Irons.

Speaking to the official site he said: “They are still in the Champions League and Mauricio Pochettino has done a great job there. They have an energetic team with a lot of quality and we know it will be a tough game, but we are ready for it.

“We have improved a lot in recent weeks, but we are still not in a position that we want to be in.

“That is why we want a good result against Tottenham on Saturday and get something from the game.”

He declared: “It is always a big game against Spurs – maybe the biggest derby for West Ham.

“Last year we beat them at home, but lost at White Hart Lane. It is the start of five big games and it is important for us to have a good start after the international break and have a good result.

“We had some great away wins last year but I remember we had some injuries going into the game at Tottenham last year. We conceded a couple of early goals and we want to make up for last year.

“Tottenham are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League so we know what we are coming up against. They were title contenders last season and were with Leicester until a few games to go.”
