Spurs Web prediction for Tottenham and West Ham
Tottenham will approach this clash determined to put right their slip against Bournemouth, yet the challenge will not be simple, given the hostile atmosphere and West Ham’s growing confidence.
Graham Potter’s side will aim to use the home crowd to their advantage and build momentum after their dominant win against Nottingham Forest, particularly after a shaky start that saw them concede eight goals in two matches.
Despite those factors, Spurs remain the stronger side on form, and with Thomas Frank eager to lay down a statement in a London derby, we would back Tottenham to edge this contest.
