West Ham United return from the international break to host one of the biggest games in the season, with Tottenham Hotspur making the short trip to London Stadium on Saturday (12:30pm kickoff).
The visitors have been in the spotlight in the lead up to the match, their stuttering form culminating in the sacking of Mauricio Potchettino, and hiring of former Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus manager Jose Mourinho.
The Hammers will be hoping to capitalise on the poor form of their visitors and secure a much-needed victory themselves.
If you have a ticket, we'd like to encourage all fans to arrive early for the fixture, and pay attention to the search regime in place for West Ham United matches here at London Stadium to ensure the best possible experience when visiting the venue.
Ahead of the fixture, we’ve compiled some handy information to help you make the most of your trip to London Stadium.
Stadium WiFi:
We're in the process of testing our new high-speed WiFi, giving fans the chance to stay connected throughout their day at London Stadium. The WiFi network offers high speed connections to every seat in the Stadium. Connecting is simple, simply search for 'LS FREE WIFI' from your mobile device and browse away.

Bridge Searching:
Our search process for this season is designed to improve security, reduce queuing times at turnstiles and alleviate congestion around the podium level.
The regime sees bag search checkpoints stationed directly adjacent to the bridges leading on to the stadium island, a process has been used throughout London Stadium’s summer of concerts and world athletics and proved particularly successful in helping the flow of spectators to the stadium.
In order to allow easy access and cause minimal delays, it is recommended that supporters arrive at least one hour prior to kick-off and avoid bringing any bags to matches unless absolutely necessary. Large suitcases or luggage are not permitted in the stadium.
All bags will be searched and supporters may also be asked to remove jackets or coats in preparation for search. All approved bags are also subject to additional inspections within the Stadium. There will be an access lane at each checkpoint for supporters with accessibility needs.
These are not ticket check points, allowing supporters without tickets to gain access to the podium and visit the Stadium Store and Ticket Offices.
For ticket collections, please use Bridge Two for the quickest entry to Stadium Island, hospitality guests are best advised to enter over Bridge Three, and away fans should enter over Bridge Four.
Bags and baggage:
We would like to discourage all supporters from bringing bags to West Ham matches unless absolutely necessary. Please note that if you do need to bring a bag with you, please arrive early and allow plenty of time to accommodate a full search before entry. Large items of baggage, and luggage, are not permitted.
Late Entry Turnstiles:
Additionally at London Stadium this season, each entrance section on the podium will have one late turnstile open after kick-off. Any supporters who arrive late for the match are advised to head to the relevant entrance for their seat, where they will be directed to the late-opening turnstile.
