LONDON, Nov. 22 -- Tottenham fans won't have to wait long to see how their new coach, Jose Mourinho looks to turn things around at the club as Spurs play local rivals West Ham United on Saturday lunchtime.

Fate has decreed that Mourinho will make his debut after being named as the replacement for Mauricio Pochettino at White Hart Lane, against the side coached by Manuel Pellegrini, the man he replaced as coach at Real Madrid a decade ago.

Spurs make the short trip to the London Stadium 14th in the table, while West Ham are two places below them in 16th following a disastrous run of four defeats in five games, provoking rumors that Pellegrini's job is under threat.

However, there is no doubt who the cameras will be focussing on this Saturday as Mourinho looks to put some bite into Spurs and forget his painful departure from Manchester United last November.

The second big game of the day sees Manchester City, who slipped down to fourth in the table following their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool a fortnight ago, at home to Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola's side need a win to leapfrog the visitors and also to help calm talk of crisis after their defeat before the international break and the game is likely to be an interesting litmus test of how Frank Lampard's young side have matured in the first half of the campaign.

Arsenal coach Unai Emery is another boss under pressure and there is a chance the Spaniard could go the same way as Pochettino if his side fails to beat second from bottom Southampton, whose coach Ralph Hassenhuttl is also feeling the heat after a run of five defeats in six games.
