Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United: League Story So Far

After winning the Europa League at the end of Ange Postecoglou’s reign, the Lilywhites brought in Frank, hoping that with him they could return to formality in terms of league position. This has not been the case, however, and many fans are quickly losing patience with the Dane, as Spurs reside in 14th place, boasting just seven wins and having lost eight of their 21 games. They are only six points off fifth place Brentford, however, so a string of victories could see them rise up the table, but they must begin that form on Saturday.

As for West Ham, Nuno Espírito Santo recently became the first manager since Harry Redknapp to lose the same fixture with two different clubs in the same season after losing on both sides of West Ham vs Nottingham Forest. That defeat left them seven points off the Reds in 18th, but with just 17 games to go, the Hammers really are running out of time if they want to avoid a Championship return.

Key Players to Watch: Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

Joao Palhinha (Tottenham): Spurs also haven’t been good at home this season, but if there is anyone they can always rely on to put in a strong performance, it is Joao Palhinha. The defensive midfielder not only has been their most constant performer week in week out, but he has also showcased his value in the final third, chipping in with three goals and two assists so far. The Portuguese international has been a rock in the middle of the park, and if he is on his A-game, it will make Tottenham’s job that much easier.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham): The Claret and Blues have won just one game on the road this season, but it wasn’t long ago since their last win here. Bowen scored that day and is leading the way with six goals this season. They will desperately need their talisman to step if they don’t want to fall further behind in the table.
