Tottenham Hotspur could move into the Champions League places in the Premier League this weekend, but they will need to record a home victory over West Ham United to achieve that. Spurs will be without Antonio Conte for this home fixture, as the coach continues his rehabilitation in Italy.
Premier League Preview
This could be a big weekend in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur, as they could move back into the Champions League places with a victory. Spurs have been allowed the opportunity following Newcastle’s stuttering form, and they can not fail to take advantage, given that the goals are likely to return for their most serious challengers for fourth spot. Tottenham has won two of their previous three, but they were extremely disappointing in their most recent outing.
Spurs were easily beaten by Leicester City on the road in their last domestic fixture, with the Foxes running out easy 4-1 winners. Matters weren’t made any better in midweek, as Tottenham were beaten 1-0 by AC Milan in their Champions League first leg. But, this presents an excellent opportunity to get back on track.
Only the sides in the bottom four positions have won fewer games than West Ham United so far this season, and that record ensures that they remain just two points above the bottom three places in the standings. The club could come into this fixture in the bottom three, which would add even more pressure on David Moyes.
The Hammers have won just once in their previous three league matches, but they have also avoided defeat over the same period. They come into this fixture after having drawn their previous two. The latest of those was a 1-1 home draw against Chelsea.
Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United Head to Head
The previous meeting between the sides this season ended in a 1-1 draw. Tottenham often conceded against the Hammers, as they have kept just one clean sheet in the previous ten meetings. West Ham has only once in the previous eight seasons avoided defeat in both clashes with Spurs.
Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United Prediction
West Ham has been beaten in their previous five away London derbies. This is a big opportunity for Spurs to get back into the Champions League spots this weekend, and we fully expect them to take that chance with a comfortable 2-0 win.
