West Ham United Preview – Will the Hammers make it six wins from seven?
David Moyes’ West Ham United were the surprise package in the Premier League last term, finishing in sixth and securing a UEFA Europa League berth. The Hammers have started this campaign in fine fettle, too, winning half of their opening eight league fixtures.
Since back-to-back draws with Crystal Palace and Southampton in the league, West Ham have gone on to win six of their following eight in all competitions. In midweek, United picked up their third straight Europa League victory, seeing off Genk and putting one foot in the knockout stages.
Despite their superb form, West Ham have taken just one point from their last three home league matches. Can they put things right in front of their home fans and secure a massive three points against their rivals on Sunday?
Tottenham Hotspur Preview – Can Spurs bounce back from European woe?
Nuno Espirito Santo has had a topsy-turvy time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers for north London in the summer. After 14 league and cup matches, Tottenham have won eight, drawn one and lost five.
Having lost three Premier League games on the bounce, the pressure was on Spurs when they entertained Aston Villa before the last international break. They won that 2-1, which they followed up with a hard-fought 3-2 victory at Newcastle United last weekend. However, the Lilywhites were beaten at Vitesse in the UEFA Europa Conference League in midweek.
