West Ham v Tottenham betting tips: Kane out to nail Hammers

Despite going a goal down inside two minutes, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min caught the eye with the England captain registering his first Premier League goal of the season.

Tottenham have, however, lost each of their last four Premier League London derbies, as many as they had in their previous 17 such games combined (W7 D6).

Spurs, beaten 1-0 at Vitesse Arnhem in the Europa Conference League on Thursday having fielded a different XI to the one at Newcastle, are 2/1 to win at the London Stadium.

None of Tottenham’s last 14 Premier League games have ended level (W9 L5) and the draw is on offer at odds of 12/5.

West Ham v Tottenham head-to-head

West Ham were unbeaten in both Premier League meetings with Spurs last season (W1 D1) – they haven’t gone three league games without defeat against their London rivals since May 2006.

Tottenham have won three of their last four Premier League visits to the London Stadium, though they did lose this fixture 2-1 last season. It is 21/5 Spurs win but concede.

West Ham took four points off Tottenham last season, coming from 3-0 down to earn a point in a 3-3 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last October.

Seven of the last 10 meetings saw both sides score and the odds for that to happen again are 8/13 in the West Ham v Tottenham betting tips.

West Ham v Tottenham key battles

Big-name players invariably score vital goals against West Ham – Kane is one of them.

He has netted 11 times against the Hammers, with three of those coming away from home.

That goal at St James’ Park would have no doubt helped his confidence and he is 7/5 to score at any time and 50/1 to notch a hat-trick.

Keeping Kane quiet is easier said than done, so that will be the Hammers’ biggest priority. The England skipper is 5/1 to outscore the opposition, too.

West Ham’s Michail Antonio has scored more Premier League goals against Spurs than he has versus any other side (five).

Three of those goals have been struck in one-goal victories while the other two came in 3-2 defeats. Antonio is 7/4 to net at any time.

It is perhaps worth noting West Ham’s two defeats this season both came at home after playing in the Europa League the preceding Thursday.
