Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is fighting for his job during the international break.
The Telegraph says the north Londoners have the chance to bounce back when they return to action following the current international break, with a tricky trip to the London Stadium to face West Ham in the early kick-off on Saturday, November 23.
And the derby could be make or break for Tottenham's season - with a defeat sure to raise serious questions over Pochettino's future.
The manager penned a new five-year contract in May and it is claimed that it would cost chairman Daniel Levy around 12.5million to sack him.
Pochettino previously said he would like to see out the remaining three years of his contract, but hinted last weekend that he might not be given that much time as the pressure increases.
"You expect better results than you get. Of course we are in a process to build and we'll see if we have time to build what we want," he said.
