Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the venue as Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United go head-to-head in an all-London Premier League showdown.

Tottenham seemed to be on the verge of losing a fourth consecutive Premier League match in which they opened the scoring before Dejan Kulusevski’s stoppage-time header fired them to a 3-3 draw at Manchester City at the weekend. Despite a decent-looking result at the Etihad, ‘Spurs’ come into proceedings seeking their first top-flight win since October, which is part of the reason they’ve fallen outside the top four. The impending home return gives them a chance to end a two-game losing league run in North London and go level on points with fourth-placed Man City, provided they maintain an impressive five-game H2H streak on home turf (W4, D1). Even if they don’t, this fixture promises to be a spectacle, with Tottenham’s last five Premier League games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.

In the meantime, West Ham spurned a narrow halftime lead in a frustrating 1-1 home draw against Crystal Palace at the weekend, relinquishing a two-game winning streak in the Premier League. But unbeaten in their last five competitive outings (W4, D1), the ‘Hammers’ take this cross-capital trip in high spirits, looking to stay within striking distance of the European spots. To do that, they must improve on their indifferent away league form this season (W3, D1, L3), though they can draw confidence from ending a three-game losing run with a 2-1 comeback win at Burnley last time out. David Moyes is no stranger to holding Tottenham winless, as he’s done so in 56% of his matches against ‘Spurs’ throughout his successful managerial career (W9, D11, L16).
