Tottenham Hotspur Preview – Will Conte’s troops make home advantage count?
Tottenham Hotspur returned to action with a thrilling Premier League draw with Liverpool on Sunday. It was Spurs’ first match since beating Norwich City 3-0 at home on 5th December. Antonio Conte’s men battled hard against in-form Liverpool and fully deserved the point.
Tottenham edged past Wolverhampton Wanderers back in September in their first EFL Cup match. Goals from Tanguy Ndombele and Harry Kane put them two up, but Wolves bounced back and took the tie to penalties – Spurs went on to win 3-2 on spot kicks. In the previous round, a Lucas Moura goal gave the Lilywhites a 1-0 victory at Burnley.
This will not be an easy game for the hosts, but Tottenham have an excellent home record under Conte and will fancy their chances of seeing off their rivals.
West Ham United Preview – Can the Irons beat Spurs again?
West Ham United are enjoying another fine season under David Moyes. The Hammers slipped out of the top four recently but still sit pretty in fifth. Overall, they have won eight, drawn four and lost five of 17 Premier League fixtures.
West Ham started their Carabao Cup campaign with a stunning win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in September, with Manuel Lanzini’s goal doing the damage in Manchester. The Irons then knocked out holders Manchester City, winning 5-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in normal time.
