The Premier League is back with a full slate of exciting midweek fixtures for fans to sink their teeth into over the course of the next few days. As we enter the month of April, it’s clear to see that we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of the campaign with teams at both ends of the table still having a lot left to fight for. Today, we’ll take a look at the upcoming clash between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur.
West Ham Form GuideWest Ham United haven’t known days as good as this in a long time. They are the current holders of the Conference League title, they’re going well in the Europa League, and they are as solid as ever in the Premier League. David Moyes has figured out a formula that works, which should serve as a real warning for the rest of the clubs in the top flight this season.
Following a 2-2 draw with Burnley, West Ham battered Freiburg 5-0 in the second leg of their Europa League clash to reach the quarter-finals. They went on to draw 1-1 with Aston Villa, before surrendering a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 to Newcastle in an insane clash.
Tottenham Form GuideTottenham Hotspur fans have enjoyed seeing Big Ange do his thing with this squad - but as time has gone on, he’s been forced to confront the cold reality of how difficult the Premier League is. The main goal for the remainder of the campaign will be to get the club back in the top four and if he can manage that, he’ll have a solid platform to build off of in the summer.
Spurs’ inconsistency continues to be a problem. They beat Brighton, then lost 2-1 to Wolves. They beat Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, then lost to Fulham. They did, however, get back on track against Luton, coming from behind to pick up a much-needed 2-1 win.
Match PredictionIn a London derby of this magnitude, we expect tensions to be high - especially with both sides being in a pretty solid position right now in the league table. There’s a lot on the line for both and we expect a really intense encounter, with our official prediction being a draw.
