Tottenham tipped to topple Hammers in London derby
7048

West Ham United welcome cross-town rivals Tottenham Hotspur to the London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Just one point separates the two sides in the table, with seventh-place West Ham trailing fifth-place Tottenham.

The Hammers have won two of their previous three Premier League games, having dispatched Leeds United before beating Everton last weekend.

David Moyes’ men have netted 15 goals in eight games this term, meaning only four sides have scored more goals in the Premier League.

Michail Antonio has begged five goals and three assists in seven league outings, while Said Benrahma has notched three goals and two assists in the league.

West Ham cruised past Belgian side Genk in the Europa League on Thursday, beating them 3-0 on home soil thanks to goals from Craig Dawson, Issa Diop and Jarrod Bowen.

The Hammers find themselves six points clear atop Group H, having won all three of their games without conceding a single goal.

On the flip side, Tottenham head into Sunday’s clash on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Dutch side Vitesse in the Europa Conference League.

That loss ended a run of three straight wins for Spurs in all competitions, following victories over Mura, Aston Villa and Newcastle.

Nuno’s men came from behind to beat Newcastle last weekend, with Harry Kane opening his Premier League account for the season.

Spurs have only managed to score nine league goals this term, though, meaning they are the second-lowest scorers in the top ten.

It is also worth noting that Tottenham have conceded at least one goal in each of their previous nine games in all competitions.

Head-to-head: Tottenham have only lost two of their previous eight Premier League games against West Ham.

That said, the Hammers beat Spurs in their most recent meeting – claiming a 2-1 victory at the London Stadium back in February.

Team news: West Ham midfielder Alex Kral is absent due to COVID-19, while Vladimir Coufal is also a doubt for Sunday’s clash.

Tottenham will be without the injured Ryan Sessegnon this weekend, while Matt Doherty is also a doubt.

Despite Tottenham’s inconsistent start to the season, Nuno’s men are expected to rise to the occasion on Sunday.

Forebet predicts that Spurs will beat the Hammers this weekend, although both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet.
