Graham Potter and his side have a chance to get West Ham‘s season firmly up and running later today.
The comprehensive victory over Nottingham Forest ahead of the international break served as a beacon of hope for many fans, who now want to see a firm sign that the tide is turning in east London, with the visit of rivals Spurs set to offer a perfect opportunity.
Spurs of course are no pushovers, who will be rocking up to the London Stadium today hoping to react to their poor performance in the 1-0 loss to Bournemouth a couple of weeks ago – however the performance will only encourage West Ham and Potter.
The added spice of Mohammed Kudus’ return to east London in Spurs colours will do no harm to the atmosphere, with the feeling that this has the ingredients for a full scale London derby – and one West Ham can win.
Should victory be realised, it will give everyone associated with the club a huge boost and the feeling that this could be a much better campaign than expected.
