Tottenham Looks for First Win in Four Matches
Tottenham has dealt with injuries recently, making it difficult for them to win matches that they typically do. They lost three straight, with losses coming against Chelsea, Aston Villa, and the Wolves before their recent tie against Man City. The Spurs will look to get back on track and win their first game in four matches.
Son Heung-min stands out as Tottenham’s key player, especially in James Maddison’s absence. He’s currently third in the Premier League for goals scored, having netted nine times. Apart from Heung-min’s contributions, Tottenham has faced challenges in scoring, with a total of 28 goals placing them mid-table in terms of Premier League goal tally.
West Ham Must Take Advantage of Injuries
Had Tottenham been in better form and fitness, they would typically be the favorites to win this game. Instead, it’s tough to imagine a way that West Ham won’t compete in this match, as the Spurs are without Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Ivan Perišić.
West Ham has had its fair share of struggles this season, but they’ve played better recently. In their last 10 games, they’re 2-2-1. Similar to Son Heung-Min, West Ham has a player that’s lightning up the stat sheet. That comes in the likes of Jarrod Bowen, who has scored eight goals, ranking him fourth in goals scored this season.
If Bowen and Vladimír Coufal can ignite this attack, West Ham will be in a good position. They’re at their best when they’re scoring, so that’s a must in this match

Player Focus
Son Heung-min, Jarrod Bowen, and James Ward-Prowse are the top players in this match-up. The three have impressed this season with Son and Bowen in the top four of goals scored, while Ward-Prowse has the sixth most assists.
