Premier League 2022-23: Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

Spurs will face the Hammers in a London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Spurs are currently struggling as they have lost their last two games after securing a win against Man City. They were defeated by Leicester in the league, which hurt them even more as they were beaten by 4-1. Additionally, they lost to Milan in the Champions League this week. With other teams competing for a spot in the top 4, Spurs will need to win this upcoming match in order to keep their hopes alive for a top 4 finish. They are currently in the 5th position, and are 2 points behind Newcastle, who are in the 4th position.

This season, West Ham is having a tough time and is currently positioned at 16th place. However, their recent draws against Newcastle and Chelsea will serve as a source of motivation for them. They are only 2 points ahead of the bottom 3, so they will undoubtedly try their best to earn some points in this upcoming match, otherwise, a loss could see them slip back into the relegation zone.

Players to watch

Tottenham Hostpur: Harry Kane

Once again this season, Harry Kane has stood out as the most impressive player for Tottenham, having already scored 17 goals in the league. He has scored two goals in the last three league matches. In addition to his goal-scoring ability, his passing has also been excellent, as he can create chances with his through balls. He will undoubtedly be seeking to add more goals to his tally in the next match against the Hammers.

West Ham United: Jarrod Bowen

Having scored three goals and provided one assist in the last four matches across all competitions, the English midfielder is currently in good form. He had a decent performance against Chelsea last week, demonstrating his ability to be a counter-attacking threat, playing long through balls and cutting inside defenders. He will be hoping to continue his strong form and have a good game against Spurs.
