West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur

West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the London Stadium in an all-London Premier League fixture.

West Ham eased past Genk 3-0 in midweek Europa League action, making their fans dream big again. After securing an unexpected sixth-place finish in the Premier League last season, the ‘Hammers’ have picked up where they left off this term (W4, D2, L2), as they currently sit just a single point adrift of fourth-placed Brighton. However, David Moyes’ men have struggled for consistency of late, alternating between winning (2) and losing (2) across their last four Premier League fixtures, three of which yielded the same 2-1 scoreline. Having lost their previous two top-flight home matches in dramatic fashion (both decisive goals coming beyond the 85th minute), the ‘Irons’ face the prospect of suffering three consecutive Premier League defeats at the London Stadium for the first time since December 2019.

In the meantime, Tottenham have picked themselves up following a run of three Premier League London derby defeats on the trot to win back-to-back top-flight matches despite conceding on each occasion. After overseeing his understrength side fall to a 1-0 away loss to Vitesse in the Europa Conference League, Nuno Espirito Santo will be keen to see a response here as ‘Spurs’ risk losing four successive Premier League London derbies for the first time since May 2004. Curiously, none of Tottenham’s last 14 Premier League fixtures have ended as a draw (W9, L5), which has been the case in five of their previous six top-flight H2Hs (W3, D1, L2). But ‘Spurs’ failed to beat West Ham in both last season’s Premier League encounters (W1, D1), conceding 2+ goals on each occasion.
