Bowen has been the sole consistent performer for West Ham this season, often carrying the Hammers on his back - he’s been directly involved in 41% of the goals that West Ham have scored in the Premier League this season.

Bowen has had 31 shots on target across his 30 Premier League appearances this season (1.06 per 90). He’s currently the only West Ham player that is averaging over 1.0 shots on target per 90 in the Premier League which is reflective of the Hammers’ issues in front of goal this season, only Everton and the three relegated sides have scored fewer goals than West Ham this season.

However, if there is a side that will give you opportunities to improve on that record, it would be Tottenham. Ange Postecoglu’s side have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League in their last nine games in the top flight which partially explains why Tottenham find themselves where they are in the league table.

Paqueta has won 2+ fouls in each of his last five Premier League games, this total rises to 3+ fouls won in four of these encounters. This recent rise reflects the freedom that Paqueta is being given by Graham Potter in his flexible set up.

Paqueta has won 57 fouls across his 30 Premier League appearances this season (2.27 per 90) so this is also something that’s been present across the season as a whole but the recent rise in this metric is line with West Ham winning a fair amount of fouls from the opposition - the Hammers have drawn 12+ fouls in eight of their last nine Premier League games.

Paqueta was hauled down once in the initial meeting between the sides in North London. He was taken off after 61 minutes and his replacement in Edson Alvarez was also brought down once which would have resulted in this selection coming in as its covered by super sub.

The initial meeting between sides in North London produced five goals as Tottenham ran out 4-1 winners. Goals have been common for both of these sides in recent weeks, mainly due to porous backlines which are unable to deal with some of the elite attacking talent present in the Premier League.

Tottenham have seen over 2.5 goals in four of their last five games across all competitions while West Ham have seen over this line in three of their last five outings. Tottenham in particular are quite a chaotic side, they’ve scored 62 goals in the Premier League which is more than any other team in the bottom half and actually more than the likes of Chelsea, Forest and Aston Villa.

However, Tottenham have conceded 56 goals taking their average total goals seen per game to 3.47 per game. Only Wolves, West Ham and the three promoted sides have conceded more goals than Tottenham in the Premier League this season.

Tottenham’s positive approach to games naturally means that they often stack up the corner count. No side has won more corners than Tottenham in the Premier League this season (233 - 6.85 per game).

Tottenham racked up 13 corners in their 4-1 win over West Ham in the initial battle between these sides in North London. Tottenham’s strong record when it comes to winning corners stays pretty consistent on the road - they’re averaging 6.06 corners per game across their 17 trips away from North London this season which is a record only bettered by Liverpool (7.06) and Bournemouth (6.18).

West Ham are conceding 4.88 corners per game at home in the Premier League this season. Tottenham can marginally raise this average given their strong record when it comes to winning corners in the Premier League this campaign.

Kulusevski has arguably been Tottenham’s best player this season. He’s registered 11 goal contributions across his 30 appearances in the Premier League this season with this number rising to 20 goal contributions when looking across his 47 appearances in all competitions.

Kulusevski was influential in Tottenham’s 4-1 win over West Ham earlier on in the campaign. He scored the equaliser to get Tottenham back in the game which was one of four shots he had as well as creating two chances and being hauled down on three occasions.

Despite the well-documented issues at the back for Tottenham, scoring rarely seems to be an issue for Ange Postecoglu’s side. They’ve found the back of the net in each of their last seven games across all competitions with 28 goals scored across their 17 away fixtures this season (1.64 per game).

Soucek has won 24 fouls across his 31 Premier League appearances this season, 26 of these have been starts taking his average to 0.96 fouls won per 90.

Soucek contested nine duels in the initial meeting between these sides, he wasn’t fouled on that occasion but there has been a notable increase in Soucek’s foul numbers under Graham Potter with the West Ham boss often looking to utilise him further up the pitch. Soucek was replaced with Carlos Soler after 60 minutes in North London who did manage to draw a foul. 

Soucek will be up against Yves Bissouma who is averaging 1.64 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this season. Soucek’s athleticism and physicality in the final third should cause problems for Tottenham and lead to the Czech Republic international drawing at least one foul.

West Ham have drawn 12+ fouls from their opponents in eight of their last nine Premier League matches. West Ham drew 10 fouls from Tottenham in the initial meeting between these sides but this recent increase in drawing fouls from Potter’s side suggests that the metric from the first clash can rise here.

As well as West Ham’s foul won numbers looking promising over recent weeks, Tottenham have seen a rise in their foul count. They’ve committed 12+ fouls in seven of their last 10 Premier League matches which mirrors the general frustration coming out of the Tottenham camp at the moment.

Tottenham drew four saves from Areola in the initial meeting between these sides, managing seven shots on target in total during the game.

Finding the target has rarely been an issue for Tottenham this season, they’re averaging 5.3 shots on target per game in the Premier League this season which is a record only bettered by four sides (Bournemouth, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool). 

Areola is having to make 3.30 saves per 90 in the Premier League this season which would suggest that the Hammers backline is faltering in terms of acting as a barrier to Areola which is leading to the West Ham keeper being called into action more than he would like.
