TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS LATEST NEWS
Tottenham is in a fine form at the moment. The Spurs haven’t lost in eleven matches in a row, while they recorded only three draws during that period. However, they have some trouble to close in games when playing at home. In their last seven matches in all competitions, they recorded four victories, two draws, and one defeat. In two out of those four wins, the result was 1:0. White Hart Lane is under reconstruction and Tottenham is playing their home matches at Wembley.

Their old stadium is narrow, while Wembley is one of the widest fields in England, and it’s not surprising that Tottenham is playing better in away matches this season. After the game against West Ham, Tottenham will play a crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid, which might decide the winner of the group. So, Pochettino will probably send the reserve squad on the pitch, since League Cup is not that important for them.

Injuries and suspensions: Erik Lamela and Victor Wanyama are injured for the upcoming game.

WEST HAM UNITED LATEST NEWS

West Ham suffered a hefty 3:0 defeat at home against newly promoted Brighton last weekend. They are struggling to find their form, and manager Slaven Bilic is under immense pressure at the moment. West Ham has a tough schedule in front of them, and if they fail to beat Crystal Palace, we might see another change of managers in Premier League this season. League Cup match against Tottenham is not a priority for them either, and we should see a combined West Ham team as well.

In their last three games, West Ham scored only two goals, and we presume that inefficiency will be their biggest problem in the game against Tottenham. However, they already played one match this season. It was a Premier League match on London stadium one month ago.Tottenham celebrated a 3:2 victory, although they led by 3:0. West Ham managed to make the match more interesting but failed to snatch out at least a point from it.

Injuries and suspensions: Only Doneil Henry is injured for the upcoming game.

Also, in their previous seven games, we saw three with only one goal scored, while in the other four matches we saw argued over 3.5. Everything is possible in the upcoming game. Both teams will give a chance to younger players, and it is tough to predict the outcome of the match. Individual inspiration and a wonder goal might provide one of the teams the edge. However, Tottenham is undoubtedly a favorite in the upcoming game.
