A key battle in the Premier League's top takes place in at our Stadium on Sunday afternoon as we host local rivals West Ham for a London derby.
We ran out 2-0 winners over Brighton & Hove Albion in midweek, while West Ham oversaw one of the most famous European nights in the Hammers' history.
Refusing to let his head drop after fluffing his lines early doors, Kane wrote himself into another chapter of the history books with a record-breaking 95th Premier League away goal at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday night.
After Kulusevski's deflected effort off Romero opened the scoring on the South coast, Kane latched onto a long pass from Bentancur to coolly slot home past Sanchez and become the most prolific away marksman in Premier League history – surpassing Rooney in the process.
One would expect Kane to break that 100-mark pretty soon, but a return to home comforts now awaits us, whose midweek win saw us leapfrog Wolverhampton Wanderers into 7th place - three behind bitter rivals Arsenal having played a game more before the Gunners face Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Gunners' defeat to Liverpool on the same night has given us that slight bit of hope in our Champions League pursuit, but our inconsistent side have made a habit of winning one then losing one in recent weeks, which does not bode well for Sunday.
However, we have suddenly discovered a hot goalscoring streak under Conte - striking 13 times across our last four Premier League matches - and as memorable as West Ham's Thursday evening was, fatigue could certainly work in our favour here.
Fairytales do exist, and they are written at the London Stadium. After going down 1-0 to Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 battle away from home, a sell-out crowd witnessed a magical European night in the English capital on Thursday.
Before Saturday's fixtures kick off, West Ham sit one place better off than us in sixth but are only above us courtesy of a better goal difference, and each of the Hammers' last three games away from home in all tournaments has ended in defeat.
West Ham have come up trumps in the last two Premier League meetings with us - both of which were in front of their own fans - but they lost 2-1 in the EFL Cup quarter-finals back in December and will certainly not be at peak fitness after two hours of gruelling Thursday night action.

Team News
We did not pick up any fresh concerns in the win over Brighton, and Conte should therefore only have the trio of Sessegnon, Skipp and Tanganga absent again this weekend.
There is optimism over Sessegnon returning straight after the international break, but Conte has not been able to put a timeframe on Skipp and Tanganga's recoveries and has not been afraid to make his feeling towards the medical team known.
Always one to demand a lot from his first XI, Conte will likely stick with the same group of players who got the job done against Brighton, as Kane (178) seeks to move closer to fourth-placed Aguero (184) in the all-time Premier League scoring charts.
Meanwhile, West Ham remain without defensive duo Ogbonna and Coufal following their respective operations, and Bowen’s heel problem will likely render him unavailable until after the international break.
Moyes is sure to consider some alterations despite the magnitude of the contest, with West Ham having less than 72 hours to recover after 120 minutes in Europe, as Ryan Fredericks and Arthur Masuaku provide alternative options in defence.
Yarmolenko and Vlasic should both freshen up the attack, while Zouma played on Thursday despite the RSPCA beginning the process to bring a prosecution against the centre-back.
