- Tottenham play their first game without Daniel Levy after 24 years at the helm.
- West Ham ended their poor start with a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest before the break.
- Jarrod Bowen has nine goal involvements in his last nine Premier League matches.
- Spurs have not won at the London Stadium since November 2019.
For Spurs, this isn’t just another derby. It’s their first league match since Daniel Levy’s shock departure after 24 years in charge. That’s seismic. Thomas Frank’s side had their unbeaten start cut short by Bournemouth before the international break, and now face the kind of fixture where history hasn’t been kind. Tottenham haven’t won at West Ham since 2019, and their record in London derbies lately? Brutal, just three wins in their last 16. Can Frank really turn that around?
Team news brings some intrigue. Summer arrival Xavi Simons could be handed his first league start, while Randal Kolo Muani waits for his debut. Injuries still cloud their options, with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin sidelined. Richarlison or Solanke could lead the line depending on late fitness checks. It’s a squad that feels promising but still stretched thin. And yet, Spurs showed away at Manchester City that they can spring surprises when the odds look stacked against them.
On the other side, West Ham finally clicked into gear with a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest before the break, goals pouring in late from Bowen, Paqueta and Wilson. It was a timely boost for Graham Potter, who badly needed a statement performance. Still, it’s one thing doing it away, another replicating it at home. The Hammers haven’t won a Premier League game at the London Stadium in their last six attempts. That home curse lingers, even if their fans will expect nothing less than a fierce derby performance.
The standout storyline is Jarrod Bowen. He’s been West Ham’s talisman, with nine goal involvements in as many league games. That’s elite company, sitting just behind Mohamed Salah since February. Bowen’s movement, combined with Paqueta’s creativity, is where Spurs will have to be most alert. If Potter gambles by starting Summerville after his lively cameo against Forest, it could make for an even sharper attack. With Spurs’ fragile derby record and both sides prone to lapses at the back, this one feels destined for goals. That’s why many tipsters lean toward Over 2.5 here, and honestly, it makes sense. Even so, predicting derbies? Never simple. That’s what makes them irresistible.
All in all, this fixture has the ingredients for drama, history weighing on Spurs, Potter trying to silence critics, and Bowen chasing another big moment. Don’t be shocked if it swings either way. But one thing feels safe to say: there should be action. Expect chances, expect mistakes, expect intensity. A classic London derby in the making.
Over 2.5 goals looks a smart play when these two sides collide. West Ham arrive fresh from a 3-0 away win at Nottingham Forest, a result that showed their attacking weapons are finally starting to click. Jarrod Bowen has been sensational, with nine goal involvements in his last nine Premier League matches, and he’s supported by creative sparks like Paqueta and emerging threats like Summerville. Spurs, meanwhile, have struggled defensively in London derbies, keeping just one clean sheet in their last 21. Injuries to key defenders and midfielders make them even more vulnerable. At the same time, Spurs carry firepower of their own, with Richarlison and Simons adding to the mix. Add in the derby atmosphere and recent head-to-heads that have seen plenty of attacking play, and the ingredients are all there for goals. Both sides can hurt each other, and neither has a reliable defense right now.
