Tottenham vs West Ham: Team news, match facts and prediction

Both Tottenham and West Ham will be looking to keep up their recent good form when they meet this afternoon’s London derby.

West Ham looked in dire straits after losing their first two EPL games of the season but have bounced back with terrific wins over Wolves and Leicester.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are flying after thumping Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford and would be on a run of three straight wins were it not for a controversial late VAR penalty in their previous game against Newcastle.

Tottenham have been flying in front of goal but Harry Kane’s fitness issues will be a concern and West Ham’s form gives them reason for optimism.

Ryan Fredericks and Arthur Masuaku are expected to be fit and involved.
