Robert Vilahamn has overseen significant progress in his first season as Tottenham boss, guiding the club to their first FA Cup final while bettering last season's WSL tally by 10 points.
Unfortunately for Spurs, their memorable run to Wembley ended with a heavy 4-0 defeat in last Sunday's final clash with Man United.
They then fell to a narrow 1-0 loss in Wednesday's league game against Chelsea, leaving them without a win in five competitive matches.
While they are guaranteed to finish in sixth spot, Tottenham will still be determined to end the season on a positive note by claiming their first league win since March.
They are also looking to complete a league double over West Ham after picking up a dramatic 4-3 away victory when the two sides last met in January.

West Ham will finish short of last season's eighth-placed finish after winning just three of their 21 league matches this term (D6, L12).
Although it has been a tough campaign, the Hammers are nine points clear of basement side Bristol City, ensuring that they can look forward to a seventh consecutive season in the WSL.
Before they focus on next term, Rehanne Skinner's side will attempt to end an eight-game winless run in Saturday's away clash with Spurs.
West Ham have drawn their last two outings by a 1-1 scoreline, including their most recent meeting with Leicester City, where Riko Ueki saw her opener cancelled out by Sophie Howard.
The Hammers will now look to replicate the 2-0 victory that they picked up in last season's away meeting with Tottenham.

Charlotte Grant is set to replace Sweden international Amanda Nilden, who was stretchered off in the first half of Wednesday's defeat.

Shelina Zadorsky is ineligible to face her parent club after joining West Ham on loan from Tottenham in the winter transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies possible starting lineup:
Votikova; Grant, Turner, Buhler, Neville; Spence, Summanen; Naz, Thomas, Vinberg; England
West Ham United Women possible starting lineup:
Arnold; Denton, Cissoko, Tysiak, Smith; Shimizu, Hayashi; Ziu, Snerle, Asseyi; Ueki
We say: Tottenham Hotspur Ladies 1-1 West Ham United Women
While Spurs have made progress this season, they have experienced a drop-off in results in recent weeks, and with that in mind, we think that they may have to settle for a point against a West Ham side that has drawn three of their last four matches.
