Team News
Carlos Vinicius joined Tottenham after the deadline to face Manchester United before the international break but is available if required here.
A hamstring problem kept Eric Dier out of England’s 1-0 defeat to Denmark on Wednesday and he is a major doubt this weekend.
Gareth Bale has been in full training with Tottenham during the international break and looks set to make his second debut for the club here.
Steven Bergwijn, Giovani Lo Celso and Japhet Tanganga are all doubts for the home side.
Head to head
Last season, Spurs beat West Ham home and away with the first leg ending 3-2 in favour of Tottenham before completing a double on with a 2-0 victory.
Tottenham win
Spurs will be going for nothing but win when they host the Hammers and Mourinho’s men head into the clash as the favourites.
Moyes is looking to score his first ever win over Jose Mourinho having failed to win the last 14 meetings – his worst record against a single manager. With Gareth Bale now available for Tottenham, that lousy record looks set to continue for the West Ham boss.
Our Topbets pundits believe the outcome will favour the visitors. Betway is backing the results at odds of 1.63 while 1XBet has 1.66 for the same outcome.
