Tottenham's good mood and five-match winning streak was bluntly interrupted as a guest of Brighton before the national team break when their 2-0 lead turned into a 2-3 loss in the latter half. The team desperately sought additional goals even with a two-goal lead, and the defense was sometimes chaotic and error-prone. In the big picture, the team has moved forward in Ange Postecoglou's second season, but still, within matches, it makes too many mistakes and sometimes completely loses control of the game. Full 90 minutes is a very long time for this Tottenham squad, they are like a bunch of children on a playground! Yet, all in all in the performance data table only Liverpool have been clearly a better side so far! Table below, Tottenham have "earned" 13 points, West Ham 8.

Spurs have been the fourth most efficient team in the Premier League in the upper third of the field, and if the team even slightly more defensive balance, the team can improve its ranking from the current ninth place. Dominic Solanke has started to score regularly and on the other wing, Brennan Johnson is having a real breakthrough season. On paper, everything in the team is fine, but something separates Spurs from the sharpest teams of the Premier League. There have been important absentees, but today Son and Richarlison might be available again, and that is good news!

West Ham's early season has been difficult with the new manager, but there has been light at the end of the tunnel recently. Before the national team break, West Ham beat league bottom team Ipswich 4-1 at home, striker Michael Antonio scored a goal and made three assists in the match. West Ham's play has been very unbalanced they are 2-2-3, with which the team is only in 12th place. The matches have been entertaining, eventful and full of goals,which is mostly due to the team's huge problems in the defense

West Ham have struggled with the style of play led by Julen Lopetegui, and the problems have been so big on the field that they cannot be fixed during one national team break. The team's offensive power is reasonable and they have a quality crew, but as a team they still need to develop their defense and look for models on how to get out from under pressure with the ball. Fullkrug, who was signed to score goals, is recuperating from his injury, but will hardly be fit to start in this match. There are no other absences, so the team can attack Spurs in almost an optimal formation.

Spurs start with a bang at home!

Spurs are a big favorite on their home ground, and the "Ange ball" guarantees a fast start in front of the home crowd. Spurs like to attack and at home the team is dangerous. West Ham's problems have been specifically in defending, and even though the game has developed in short steps throughout the fall, there is still too much to do.

在国家队休息前做客布莱顿，热刺的好心情和五连胜被直截了当地打断了。下半场，他们以2比0领先，却以2比3输掉了比赛。即使在领先两球的情况下，球队也拼命地寻求更多的进球，防守有时很混乱，容易出错。从整体上看，球队在波斯特科格鲁的第二个赛季取得了进步，但在比赛中，球队仍然犯了太多错误，有时甚至完全失去了对比赛的控制。整整90分钟对热刺来说是很长的一段时间，他们就像一群孩子在操场上玩耍！然而，在所有的表现数据表中，到目前为止只有利物浦明显是一支更好的球队！下图中，热刺“赚”了13分，西汉姆8分。

热刺一直是英超效率排名第四的球队，排在前三分之一的位置，如果球队在防守上再多一点平衡，球队的排名就可以从目前的第九位提升。多米尼克·索兰克已经开始经常得分，而在另一边，布伦南·约翰逊本赛季取得了真正的突破。从纸面上看，这支球队的一切都很好，但有些东西把热刺和英超最犀利的球队分开了。一些重要的球员缺席了比赛，但是今天孙兴慜和理查森可能又可以上场了，这是个好消息！

在新教练的带领下，西汉姆在赛季初的表现一直很艰难，但最近这条隧道的尽头出现了曙光。在国家队休息前，西汉姆在主场4-1击败联赛垫底的伊普斯维奇，前锋迈克尔·安东尼奥在比赛中打进一球并送出3次助攻。西汉姆联的打法很不平衡，他们是2-2-3阵型，球队排在第12位。这些比赛非常有趣、丰富多彩、进球无数，这主要是由于球队在防守方面存在巨大问题

在洛佩特吉的带领下，西汉姆一直在挣扎，问题太大了，不可能在一次国家队休息期间就解决。球队的进攻力量是合理的，他们有一个高质量的团队，但作为一个团队，他们仍然需要发展他们的防守，并寻找如何摆脱有球压力的模式。富勒克鲁格的签约是为了进球，他正在从伤病中恢复，但很难在这场比赛中首发。没有其他球员缺阵，所以球队可以以最佳阵型进攻热刺。

热刺主场一炮而红！

热刺在他们的主场是大热门，“安吉球”保证了在主场观众面前快速开局。热刺喜欢进攻，在主场这支球队很危险。西汉姆的问题主要集中在防守上，尽管整个秋季比赛都在快速发展，但仍然有太多的事情要做。
