Big Match Breakdown: Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United

Top-flight action continues

There’s a second London derby in as many days tonight as Tottenham Hotspur welcome West Ham United to Wembley.

Both sides will be buoyed following positive victories on Tuesday night.

Spurs overcame tricky conditions to see off Swansea City 2-0. Meanwhile, West Ham came from behind to edge out West Bromwich Albion 2-1 at the London Stadium.

The Coral News Team look ahead to tonight’s match.

Head-to-Head

This will be the third meeting between the two sides this season.

Tottenham won the first Premier League battle of the season. Harry Kane scored twice as the North Londoners picked up a 3-2 win in East London.

Just over a month later the Hammers turned the tables on their rivals with a 3-2 win of their own at Wembley. Andre Ayew bagged a brace that day as Slaven Bilic’s men came from 2-0 down to advance through to the next round of the Carabao Cup.

West Ham are winless on their last three visits to Tottenham but have won on both of their previous visits to the new Wembley Stadium.

Likely XIs

Kane came off the bench against Swansea on Tuesday night. He’s expected to start in place of Fernando Llorente this evening. Serge Aurier and Harry Winks could also return to the line-up.

James Collins and Aaron Cresswell are expected to miss out for the Hammers. That should mean a third league start of the season for Declan Rice. Mark Noble and Marko Arnautovic may also be recalled.
