Tottenham’s recent 3-3 draw against Man City brought positive signs. They won 1 point against the defending Premier League champions right on the opponent’s field in a breathtaking score-chasing match. The important thing is, Mr. Ange Postecoglou’s students have shown a great spirit of refusing to give up.

Returning to their home field, Tottenham has every right to hope that, with good momentum, they will win all 3 points against West Ham in the London Derby. They have the support of the past. Statistics show that in the last 5 London Derby matches at Tottenham Hotspurs, the “Roosters” were undefeated with a record of 4 wins and 1 draw. In all 5 of those matches, they scored 2 or more goals into the team’s net. West Ham.

If only counted in the Premier League this season, West Ham is quite unstable. They only won 2 of the last 7 rounds, the remaining 2 drew and had to suffer 3 defeats. With that unconvincing performance, they are currently ranked 9th with 6 points behind Tottenham. The biggest weakness of the team nicknamed “Sledgehammer” is the lack of solid defense. They have conceded 24 goals after 14 rounds, of which the last 7 matches had to go into the net to pick up the ball.

It will not be surprising if West Ham continues to show poor defensive play and is punished by Tottenham in the upcoming London Derby.
