Tottenham Hotspur haven’t won in the last four league games

Many injuries have pushed Tottenham Hotspur back from being serious contenders for the Premier League after the initial matches. After losing three consecutive matches, Tottenham Hotspur played an exciting draw against Manchester City last week, demonstrating why they are seen as a dangerous team this season. With Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Manchester United in competition for Champions League spots, they must return to winning ways.

In the beginning of the season, West Ham United did not perform well, but recently they have made a slight comeback. West Ham haven’t lost in the last five matches in all competitions. They are currently 9th in the league with five losses, six wins and three draws in 14 games. Although they have looked promising in patches, West Ham lacks that clutch touch in their camp, as was evident in the draw with Crystal Palace last week.

Kick-Off:

Friday, 8 December 2023 at (1:45 AM IST)

Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

Form:

Tottenham Hotspur (in all competitions): W-L-L-L-D

West Ham United (in all competitions): W-W-W-W-D

Player to Watch

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)

Following his breakthrough season in 2021-22, Jarrod Bowen had a bad 2022-23 season. Everyone thought he was going to be another one-season wonder, but Bowen has made a tremendous comeback this season. In the league, he has scored eight goals. Bowen has been lacking support up front, which explains why West Ham has been struggling in attack. He is going to play a crucial role in this match.

Heung-Min Son (Tottenham Hotspur)

Heung-Min Son has stepped up brilliantly since Harry Kane left the team. Son has not only scored goals this season but also looked like a leader. Son has played more centrally this season and is adapting to the role well. So far, he has scored nine goals.
