Comments and predictions for Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham: Home team is lucky

Latest Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham team information

Spurs fans are waiting to see if captain Son Heung-min can recover from a thigh injury to play in the London derby against West Ham. Son was called up to the national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers but had to withdraw.

Son is now one of three players who could feature, alongside Richarlison and Lucas Bergvall, who picked up a minor calf injury playing for Sweden and is unlikely to start on Saturday. Wilson Odobert (hamstring) is still not ready to return.

Despite a poor second-half display at the Amex two weeks ago, Spurs will stick to their starting line-up, only subbing in Timo Werner if Son is confirmed fit.

West Ham's only problems are in attack, with new signing Niclas Fullkrug nursing an Achilles injury and missing Germany's international break, making him a doubt for this weekend.

Lopetegui, though, is reluctant to change the winning formula, with Antonio a major concern for Tottenham; the Jamaican has scored six goals against Spurs, his best return against a single opponent. Antonio's first goal against Ipswich was set up by Bowen, the first West Ham player to have five shots and five chances in a Premier League game since Antonio himself in March 2021, against Arsenal.

Latest football commentary Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham

A sixth straight win was on the cards for Tottenham at the Amex last weekend, as Brennan Johnson and James Maddison gave the team a 2-0 lead. But then came the unexpected collapse.

Yankuba Minteh's strike just three minutes after the break gave Brighton hope, and Georginio Rutter levelled the scores. Danny Welbeck finally scored the winner to give the Gooners something to cheer about.

Coach Ange Postecoglou, though calm, could not hide his anger. He admitted this defeat was the worst since taking charge of Tottenham, who are ninth with three defeats in seven games.

Tottenham have an alternating win-loss record in their last seven home games and after a 3-1 win over Brentford, fans may be expecting something worse on Saturday.

Meanwhile, West Ham ended their disappointing run with an impressive win over Ipswich, thanks to Michail Antonio's opener after just 48 seconds. Despite Liam Delap equalising, West Ham scored three more goals to claim their first league win since late August.

Julen Lopetegui must have been relieved when the final whistle blew, ending a five-game winless run and moving his side up to 12th, just two points behind Tottenham.

Despite criticism, West Ham are unbeaten in their last three away games, winning 2-1 at Tottenham in December 2023.

The first game after the international break promises to be an exciting one, with both Spurs and West Ham strong in attack but also vulnerable in defence. A 3-2 win for Spurs is not out of the question, and it is likely that they will achieve a similar result this time.
