Tottenham enters their eighth matchday in the Premier League after a disappointing 2-3 defeat against Brighton. Despite leading 2-0 at halftime, Ange Postecoglou's side could not maintain their advantage, marking their first loss after a five-match winning streak. Tottenham will now face another challenge in a London derby against West Ham United, where they are considered the favorites, especially with the match taking place at home. Historically, Spurs have a solid home record against West Ham, having lost only one of their last six home derbies against the Hammers, winning four of those encounters. Tottenham has been consistent at home, having scored in every game against West Ham at their stadium since April 2019. Despite having some injury concerns, including Richarlison and others potentially missing, Tottenham is not expected to make significant changes to the squad that played against Brighton. Brennan Johnson, with three goals, will be a key player to watch for Spurs. West Ham, on the other hand, has had a mixed season so far. While they sit mid-table, they have struggled defensively, conceding 14 goals in their last six competitive matches. However, they did manage a 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town recently, breaking a winless streak of five games. Tottenham is expected to make the most of their home advantage, particularly given West Ham's defensive struggles. While West Ham has managed to remain unbeaten in their last three away derbies, their inconsistent away form this season suggests that Tottenham is likely to come out on top. A 2-1 or 3-1 victory for Tottenham seems plausible, with both teams having the potential to score.

托特纳姆热刺在2-3不敌布莱顿后进入了他们在英超联赛的第8个比赛日。尽管半场2-0领先，但波斯特科格洛的球队未能保持优势，这是他们五连胜后的第一场失利。托特纳姆热刺现在将面临另一个挑战，在伦敦德比中对阵西汉姆联，他们被认为是最受欢迎的球队，尤其是在主场进行的比赛。从历史上看，热刺主场对阵西汉姆联的战绩很稳定，最近6次主场德比对阵铁锤帮只输了1场，赢了4场。热刺在主场表现稳定，自2019年4月以来，他们在主场对阵西汉姆联的每场比赛中都有进球。尽管有一些伤病问题，包括理查利森和其他可能缺席的球员，热刺预计不会对对阵布莱顿的阵容做出重大调整。布伦南·约翰逊，有三个进球，将是热刺的关键球员。另一方面，西汉姆到目前为止有一个好坏参半的赛季。虽然他们排名中游，但他们的防守却很艰难，在最近的六场比赛中丢了14个球。然而，他们最近以4比1战胜伊普斯维奇，打破了五场不败的纪录。热刺有望充分利用他们的主场优势，特别是考虑到西汉姆的防守困难。虽然西汉姆在最近的三场客场德比中保持不败，但他们本赛季不稳定的客场状态表明热刺很可能会脱颖而出。热刺2-1或3-1获胜似乎是可能的，两支球队都有进球的潜力。
