West Ham didn’t make a great start to their 2022-23 Premier League campaign, losing their opening three games against Manchester City (3-0), Nottingham forest (1-0) and Brighton & Hove Albion (2-0). However, the Hammers managed to bounce back at Villa Park on Sunday. David Moyes’ side defeated Aston Villa courtesy of Pablo Fornals’ lone strike in the 74th-minute. Prior to that, West Ham thrashed Viborg 3-1 in the second leg of their Europa conference League qualifying playoff tie and secured a 6-1 aggregate victory to progress to the group stages of the competition.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have made a brilliant start to their new league season, recording three wins and a draw so far to pocket 10 points. Spurs defeated Forest courtesy of Harry Kane’s brace. It was a dominant performance from Antonio Conte’s side as they recorded seven shots on target compared to just one by Forest at City Ground. Prior to that, Spurs secured a narrow 1-0 win over Wolves through Kane’s goal. After the game against Hammers, Conte’s side will host Fulham before kicking off their Champions League campaign at home against Marseille on September 7.
