Tottenham v West Ham

Premier League action returns as West Ham make the short journey across East London to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It was the Hammers who prevailed in this matchup last season with a 2-1 victory - three points in this game would see them leapfrog Spurs in the league standings, with these sides separated by just two points. 

⭐ Tottenham v West Ham Best Bets

Julen Lopetegui has favoured the selection of Tomas Soucek in his starting XI, perhaps a surprise given his deficiencies on the ball. The Czech Republic international has been deployed as a box-to-box midfielder and has already scored two goals this season.

His average of 2.11 shots per game is only bettered by Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus, as Soucek has managed a shot on target in four out of eight games when playing at least 45 minutes.

🔍 Tottenham v West Ham Players to Watch

⚪ Brennan Johnson

Brennan Johnson currently boasts the highest shots per game in the Tottenham squad, with 2.8. He has got on the scoresheet in each of his last seven appearances for both club and country, making him amongst the most in-form players in the league right now. He has registered a shot on target in nine out of 10 appearances this season. 

⚪ Dominic Solanke

Dominic Solanke is the first line of defence for Spurs, and leads the press. Since his arrival from Bournemouth, he has committed 13 fouls in his seven starts, averaging 1.94 fouls per 90 in all competitions. His notable work rate saw him play the full 90 most recently against Brighton, he was blown for two infringements in that game. 

🟣 Mohammed Kudus

Mohammed Kudus has registered at least two shots in all seven Premier League games this season, and the winger currently has an average of 2.86 shots per game - the highest value in the Hammers squad. Last season, he had exactly two shots in both head-to-head fixtures against Spurs.

💻 Tottenham v West Ham Form and Tactics

Spurs were dealt a humbling defeat at the Amex Stadium before the international break, as they surrendered a two-goal lead in the second half. A defensive error from Destiny Udogie gifted a goal to Yankuba Minteh, acting as a catalyst for Spurs’ collapse. Georginio Rutter equalised ten minutes later, before Danny Welbeck scored the winning goal in the 66th minute. That loss broke a five-game winning streak in all competitions for Ange Postecoglou.

West Ham have got off to a shaky start under Julen Lopetegui but will be buoyed by their recent outing against Ipswich, which saw them win comfortably at the London Stadium. They were able to punish defensive inefficiencies, with 3.79 xG generated from 23 shots. However, the Hammers currently sit 12th in the league, with a record of two wins, two draws and three losses.
