The hosts are currently sat in seventh place, while West Ham are three points better off in sixth position, although the Hammers have lost three of their last four league games.
Match preview
Tottenham began the WSL season with three wins from their opening five games of the WSL season, but since thrashing Brighton & Hove Albion 8-0, they have lost consecutive league matches.
After losing 3-0 to their London rivals Chelsea, Spurs were edged out by Reading last weekend with an Amy Turner own goal separating the two sides.
The 1-0 defeat leaves Tottenham in the bottom half of the WSL table, but they are three points adrift of West Ham with two games in hand.
Rehanne Skinner's side have only played three home games in all competitions this term, resulting in two wins and one defeat.
With Spurs set to play West Ham and Everton at Brisbane Road in their final two games of the calendar year, they will hope that they can use home advantage to record a couple of positive results and move up the league table.
Meanwhile, West Ham had the opportunity to claim a third consecutive win in all competitions when they faced Liverpool last weekend.
After beating Leicester in the WSL and Birmingham City in the League Cup, the Hammers would have travelled to Prenton Park in a confident mood, but they suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat.
Ceri Holland and Katie Stengel both found the net in the opening 20 minutes to condemn West Ham to their third defeat in their last four WSL matches.
As a result of that defeat, the Hammers have now lost three of their four away games in the WSL this season, with their only victory coming against Aston Villa.
The Hammers have managed to take four points off Tottenham last season, and they have held Spurs to a draw in their last two away meetings.
