West Ham United vs Tottenham – Match Preview and Team News | OneFootball

A fierce London derby is set for Saturday evening as West Ham United host Tottenham Hotspur.

The match marks the beginning of a new era for the visitors, who play their first game since the departure of chairman Daniel Levy. Spurs head into the 5:30 pm kick-off looking to bounce back from their first defeat under new manager Thomas Frank.

West Ham, meanwhile, are buoyed by their first win of the season and a strong home record in this fixture, having not lost in their last five league meetings against Spurs at the London Stadium.

West Ham vs Tottenham – Match Preview and Team News

Team News

West Ham United

Graham Potter is contending with a striker crisis. New signing Niclas Füllkrug is out for up to a month with a calf injury. He joins Luis Guilherme and George Earthy on the sidelines. There is some positive news, however, as Crysencio Summerville is available and pushing for a start after a surprise early return from injury.

Tottenham Hotspur

Thomas Frank has several long-term absentees, including James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. On a more positive note, captain Cristian Romero has returned early from international duty.

In addition, striker Dominic Solanke could be fit enough to feature. New signings Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani are also in contention for their debuts.

Form

West Ham United

After a difficult start with heavy defeats to Sunderland and Chelsea, the Hammers found form with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

That victory saw a significant improvement in their attacking play, as they registered eight shots on target. Furthermore, they can draw great confidence from their home record against Spurs, having not lost in the last five league meetings at the London Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs’ perfect start to the season was ended by a 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth. Thomas Frank’s side must now contend with their poor record in London derbies.

They have lost 10 of their last 16 capital clashes and have kept just one clean sheet in their last 21. A victory, however, would see Frank become only the third Spurs manager to win his first two away league games in charge.

Predicted Lineups

West Ham United predicted XI: Hermansen; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf; Ward-Prowse, Soucek; Fernandes, Paqueta, Summerville; Bowen

Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Sarr, Simons; Richarlison
