West Ham's apparent victory in the race to take over the Olympic Stadium has upset the other challengers Tottenham as news of the decision was leaked on Thursday.
The Olympic Park Legacy Company's (OPLC) board are not due to announce their choice of tenant for the post-2012 stadium at a news conference in Westminster on Friday morning, but the feeling is the Hammers are the clear winners.
That will see the athletics track retained inside the stadium and avoid huge embarrassment to ministers and avoid accusations of breaking promises to the International Olympic Committee.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has previously suggested the club would consider applying for a judicial review if they believed that their bid was not given fair consideration.
Levy has already declared Spurs' alternative stadium plan, the Northumberland Park project, to be financially unviable and the club now face the grim prospect of remaining at their old home until a third way out of White Hart Lane can be found.
Tottenham have expressed their concerns however that the news of West Ham's victory had leaked out ahead of the OPLC meeting.
The club said in a statement: "Whilst we are concerned to read that there appears to have been a leak of information from the OPLC about what their recommendation and decision may be, we regard it as premature to make any comment at this stage."
