Tottenham v West Ham

Tottenham vs West Ham Preview

Tottenham headed into the international break in disappointing fashion as the north London club were handed a 3-2 defeat down on the south coast at Brighton, while West Ham recorded an emphatic 4-1 home win against Premier League newcomers, Ipswich Town, at the London Stadium.

Tottenham currently occupy a disappointing ninth place in the early Premier League standings having picked up three wins, a draw but have also slipped to three defeats as well, within their opening seven games of this new English top flight campaign.

Victories collected against Everton, Brentford and Manchester United, the latter being a resounding 3-0 win on the road at Old Trafford, looked to have set Spurs on their way in the early stages of this new term but losses incurred at the hands of Newcastle United, local rivals Arsenal and Brighton have offset their successes.

The loss away from home at Brighton just before the break would have been particularly tough to take as the north London outfit held a seemingly unassailable 2-0 lead, and a loss from that position will have done little for Tottenham's confidence.

Results on home soil at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have also shown inconsistency as Tottenham have won three but also lost three of their last six games.

West Ham ended a four-game winless run in the Premier League just before the international break thanks to a comprehensive 4-1 home win against Ipswich Town to lift The Hammers up into a mid-table position of 12th place in the English top flight table.

The east London outfit have now collected two wins within their opening seven games of this new top flight season which includes a 2-0 win away from home against London rivals Crystal Palace along with picking up points in draws with Fulham and Brentford respectively.

The visitors have also slipped to three defeats within their opening seven games with defeats incurred at the hands of Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea respectively but it is interesting to note that all three losses were inflicted upon Lopetegui's side on home soil at the London Stadium.

Results on the road have been a mixed bag for some time now where West Ham are concerned but the visitors do bring a useful three-match unbeaten sequence on their travels into this Saturday lunchtime clash by way of a victory at Crystal Palace along with back-to-back draws at Fulham and Brentford.
