Important match for both teams, who are fighting for the European positions.

West Ham are coming from a defeat against Newcastle 4:3, conceding the last goal at 90’ and seeing how they lost a game which was winning 1:3 at 48’, with David Moyes’ team throwing away a two-goal lead.

Although that’s not a tragedy, because St James Park is a difficult stadium, the way they lost it was difficult. But having this fixture just 3 days after it’s the best way to recover and gain confidence, especially playing at home.

At London Stadium they have lost just three games this season: Manchester City, Arsenal, and Everton (in October). They are definitely a difficult team to beat at home.

West Ham is a dangerous team going forward, with some players who are in great form this season such as Kudus, Paqueta, Bowen or Antonio who is back. Their plan for this fixture will be to leave the ball to Spurs and try to kill the at counters.

The defense is clearly their weak point, with poor central backs in my opinion and conceding too many goals this season.

On the other hand, Tottenham have not continued their impressive early season form, which given the way they play was always going to be difficult. However, they are still a funny team to see, offensive and inconsistent.

Are coming from a lucky victory 2:1 over Luton, with a late goal at 87’ by Son, who has been one of the best players for Spurs this season. They'll be concerned that they again had to win from behind. and Ange Postecoglou’s style of play is hugely exciting — especially for a neutral — but the team’s inability to defend will cause issues.

The last game of Spurs, on Saturday against Luton, was a perfect example of how Spurs, plenty of the ball, plenty of bodies flooding forward and plenty of opportunities to create chances. West ham will play to this, as they did in the fixture at the Tottenham stadium, whereby they dig in, keep their shape and look to hurt you on the turnover. Spurs had 75% possession and 23 shots on goal that game and still ended up losing.

If West Ham achieves to control Spurs’ attack, keep the goal to nil for a while, they’ll find chances at counters where they can kill Tottenham. Last Tottenham’ performances as visitors have been terrible in defense, conceding goals (11) and winning just one of the last 5.

对于两支争夺欧洲席位的球队来说，这是一场重要的比赛。

西汉姆联刚刚从4:3输给纽卡斯尔的比赛中恢复过来，在90 '时丢了最后一个球，看到了他们是如何在48 '时1:3获胜的比赛中输掉的，大卫莫耶斯的球队丢掉了两球的领先优势。

虽然这不是一个悲剧，因为圣詹姆斯公园球场是一个困难的球场，他们输掉比赛的方式是困难的。但是在比赛结束3天后进行比赛是恢复和获得信心的最好方式，尤其是在主场比赛。

在伦敦球场，他们本赛季只输掉了三场比赛:曼城、阿森纳和埃弗顿(10月)。他们绝对是一支很难在主场击败的球队。

西汉姆联是一支向前推进的危险球队，有一些本赛季状态很好的球员，比如库德斯、帕奎塔、鲍文和复出的安东尼奥。他们对这场比赛的计划是把球留给热刺，并试图杀死对手。

防守显然是他们的弱点，在我看来，他们的中卫很差，本赛季丢了太多球。

另一方面，热刺并没有延续他们赛季初令人印象深刻的状态，考虑到他们的比赛方式总是很困难。然而，他们仍然是一支有趣的球队，进攻和不稳定。

凭借本赛季表现最佳的孙兴慜在最后时刻87分攻入的一粒进球，热刺队以2:1战胜卢顿队。他们会担心他们必须再次从后面取胜。波斯特科格鲁的踢球风格非常令人兴奋——尤其是对于一个中立者来说——但是球队无力防守将会造成问题。

上周六对阵卢顿的最后一场比赛是热刺的一个完美例子，热刺有很多球，很多人向前冲，有很多机会创造机会。西汉姆联将会这样做，就像他们在热刺球场的比赛中所做的那样，他们坚守阵地，保持自己的状态，并试图在失误中伤害你。马刺在那场比赛中拥有75%的控球率和23次射门，但最终还是输了。

如果西汉姆能控制热刺的进攻，让比分保持一段时间，他们就能找到反击的机会，杀死热刺。热刺上一次作为客队的表现在防守方面非常糟糕，丢了11个球，在最近的5场比赛中只赢了1场。
