Since edging past Manchester City 1-0, through Harry Kane’s goal, in the top flight on February 5, Spurs have suffered back-to-back defeats. Last Saturday, Antonio Conte’s side lost 4-1 to Leicester in the league, despite taking the lead through Rodrigo Bentancur. After that, Tottenham traveled to Milan for their European fixture, and Brahim Diaz’s lone goal inside the opening eight minutes gave a slight advantage to the Serie A outfit in the tie. Spurs’ Premier League season has been pretty hot and cold, having recorded 12 wins, three draws and eight defeats from 23 games thus far.
West Ham, on the other hand, are struggling to keep themselves alive in the top tier, and recent results would certainly provide a ray of hope to the Hammers. David Moyes’ side are undefeated in their last three top flight games, and have collected five points during that period. Last time out, the Hammers came from behind to earn a point against the Blues, thanks to Emerson Palmieri’s 28th-minute equaliser. Meanwhile, West Ham have lost just once in their last seven outings since the turn of the year.
The reverse fixture of the London derby this season ended in a 1-1 draw at London Stadium less than six months ago. Spurs took a first-half lead courtesy of Thilo Kehrer’s own goal, before Tomas Soucek leveled the score ten minutes into the second half. Meanwhile the last five encounters between these two London clubs have seen both teams winning two games each.
