West Ham vs Tottenham Preview
These two sides come into this fixture on the back of differing results prior to the international break.
West Ham finally got their season up and running with a 3-0 victory at Nottingham Forest, while Spurs slipped to a 1-0 loss vs Bournemouth on home soil.
But recent form nearly always goes out the window when it comes to a derby fixture such as this, a rivalry which Thomas Frank will be getting his first taste of.
The Spurs boss has some shiny new players to call upon for the visit to the London Stadium in Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani, who are each in the frame to start.
However, the one signing who will be the main focus of attention is Mohammed Kudus, who joined Tottenham from West Ham over the summer.
The Ghanaian will almost certainly receive a very hostile reception at a ground he used to call home, but that is part and parcel of the game.
Kudus’ old boss Graham Potter also has some new acquisitions at his disposal in midfielder Soungoutou Magassa and centre-back Igor Julio.
Both should feature at some point in the match, while Mateus Fernandes can look to build on his impressive debut at the City Ground vs Forest before the international break.
Last season, this fixture finished in a 1-1 draw after Jarrod Bowen cancelled out an early opener from Wilson Odobert. In fact, the last three contests at the London Stadium have finished 1-1, with Spurs’ last victory on the ground recorded way back in November 2019.
West Ham vs Tottenham Odds
*All odds are subject to change

West Ham vs Tottenham Betting Tips
Player to score or assist – Jarrod Bowen @ 2.05
Bowen is West Ham’s biggest goal threat – by a distance in fact. And the Hammers skipper has a good record against Spurs, registering a goal or an assist in each of his last four top-flight appearances against them. Bowen also scored in the 3-0 win at Forest before jetting off for England duty.
Player to score or assist – Mohammed Kudus @ 2.30
A goal or an assist for Kudus feels almost written in the stars. Every touch of the ball he makes will be heavily booed, but he certainly has the quality to silence the West Ham crowd. Kudus has two assists in three appearances this season.
Pape Sarr to commit over 1.5 fouls @ 1.91
Sarr is averaging three fouls per game in the Premier League so far this season, so this selection could be a good source of value. The all-action midfielder will be in the heat of battle at the London Stadium, so at least two fouls committed looks firmly on the cards.
