Both teams have a talisman player who are usually reliable in front of goal. Jarrod Bowen has enjoyed a fantastic season and scored 15 goals. He is a massive threat and the 2.75 on offer that he scores anytime could be worth looking at. However, a more sensible approach is simply to back the former Hull man to have at least one shot on target. He averages 1.11 shots on target per 90 and should be relied on to test the keeper at least once. The odds are surprisingly big for this to occur at 1.44 but he will strongly fancy his chances, against this Spurs defence, to get it done.

At the other end of the field Son Heung-min is the main man for Spurs. Their captain has scored 15 goals along with weighing in with 8 assists.

The South Korean star averages 1.25 shots on target per 90 and is another individual worth backing in this particular market. The 1.30 on offer that he manages to test the keeper looks perfectly acceptable, especially as he will be on penalties.

Spurs matches are known for being frantic, fast-paced and quite end-to-end. They cannot always be relied upon to get a result or even score consistent goals but the style of games they get involved in often leads to a lot of corners at both ends of the field. Several shots, desperate clearances and defenders out of position can mean corner numbers rack up significantly. Spurs games average a massive 12.21 corners and West Ham fixtures average over 10.

Taking the over 9.5 corner line at odds of 1.40 looks like a fairly safe bet when you consider the two teams involved and the way in which Spurs fixtures often develop.

Spurs are mid table for fouls committed and cards obtained but certain individuals stand out more than others. Destiny Udogie averages a huge 2.08 fouls per 90 and the Italian stands out in the fouls markets for this encounter.

He will face a significant challenge in Jarrod Bowen on his side of the field here and it is very difficult to see him playing a clean game. Odds of 1.14 to commit a single foul are short, but there is room for manoeuvre in the 2+ fouls market.

Yves Bissouma is the midfield enforcer for Spurs and will face the likes of Lucas Paqueta and Tomas Soucek. He averages 1.52 fouls per 90 and is priced at 1.22 to commit as single foul. This looks like another really solid bet builder addition.

Both teams average around 2.50 cards obtained per game which would make it likely that at least five cards are shown here. Spurs are also very good at drawing cards from their opponents at an average of three in each match.

The referee on show is John Brooks who has dished out 4.18 cards per game this season, although that increases to 4.57 in the Premier League. This is a London derby with plenty at stake so backing over 3.5 cards at 1.30 doesn’t seem like asking for too much. In all likelihood, there will probably be 5 or 6 cards here but we only need 4 for over 3.5 to cash.
