With Newcastle United’s defeat on Saturday, Tottenham have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League if they can halt their own decline after losing to Leicester City and AC Milan last week. After achieving a historic victory over Manchester City, Antonio Conte’s team lost games suffering early and unable to return to games.
This will be a welcome sight for West Ham, a team looking to get out of the relegation zone in this London derby. Despite the three teams above them in the table all having wins, the Hammers are only one point behind Bournemouth and Everton, so they can move up to 16th with a win. The defense has improved of late, but it’s a tough proposition trying to stop Harry Kane.

installments
Tottenham: Getting Cristian Romero back from suspension will be a boost for the defense, but the midfield will be full of doubts. Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur are out with long-term injuries, which will likely see Pape Sarr or Oliver Skipp start alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Ryan Sessengon will not be available because he was also injured and Fraser Forster will continue to start at the net with Hugo Lloris injured. It will be interesting to see if Richarlison or Arnaut Danjuma will start, as Heung-Min Son and Dejan Kulusevski have struggled of late.
West Ham United: David Moyes could get an attacking boost from Gianluca Scamacca undergoing a late fitness test but, if he is available, the striker will likely need to come off the bench. Aaron Cresswell and Nayef Aguerd will also undergo late fitness tests. Lucas Paquetá, Kurt Zouma and Maxwel Cornet will lose the match.
Prediction
West Ham will take the lead early, but this is a good return game for Tottenham as they have finally rediscovered their winning form with the top four on the line. Choice: Tottenham 2, West Ham 1
