Both sides will meet at the London Stadium on Friday with Spurs looking to cut Chelsea's four-point lead at the top of the Premier League to one, while West Ham are hoping to make sure they avoid relegation.
The Hammers are 15th in the league, but are unbeaten in their last four and are seven points clear of the dropzone and, with three games left, Bilic is hoping for a repeat of last season's 1-0 home victory against Mauricio Pochettino's charges.
"That game is always big, it's a derby, and it can't be just an ordinary game. Then, if you add to that that they need points to stay in the race and we need points to climb or to make us safe," Bilic told the club's website.
"We're going to approach it in a very positive way, knowing we are playing, for me, against the best team in the league.
"Hopefully, I'm going to enjoy it, but it's going to be a very nervous game. We will have to be on top of our game. But we did it last year, beating them at home when they were also on fire and everything."
