West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur: match preview

West Ham United will have to be very wary against a Tottenham Hotspur side out for revenge for the defeat, at the London Stadium last season, that ended their title challenge

West Ham United ended Tottenham Hotspur’s title challenge last season, Manuel Lanzini scoring the only goal on a boisterous Friday night at the London Stadium. But Lanzini’s unavailability boosts Tottenham’s chances of revenge. While West Ham have kept three consecutive clean sheets, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have won their first two away games without conceding a goal. Jacob Steinberg
