West Ham v Tottenham prediction

Odds provided are correct at the time of publishing, and are subject to alter.

A week ago this column suggested that defeat by West Ham United could spell the end of Mauricio Pochettino’s five-and-a-half-year reign as Tottenham Hotspur head coach. But his fate has already been determined and on Saturday lunchtime Jose Mourinho might be in the opposition dugout at the London Stadium.

Pochettino but didn’t convey silverware to Spurs, while Mourinho has gained trophies at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United, and the expectation shall be on the Portuguese to take care of that sequence. 

Saturday’s match is no much less essential to Hammers supervisor Manuel Pellegrini, whose facet have taken solely two points from a potential 18 since beating Manchester United in September. After Pochettino’s exit he now finds himself one place higher in the odds to turn out to be the next Premier League supervisor to lose his job.      

Mourninho appears to set the tone

Jose Mourinho’s appointment as head coach of Spurs marks his fourth spell in control of a Premier League membership, and chairman Daniel Levy has backed the 56-year-old to deliver “energy and belief” to the team.

Both look like wanted. Spurs are 14th in the Premier League table and 11 factors adrift of Manchester City in the fourth and ultimate Champions League qualifying spot.

However, they are simply three points behind fifth-placed Sheffield United, so a profitable begin might begin to change the outlook and construct confidence. And Mourinho has won a hundred ninety of his 305 Premier League matches so far with Chelsea and United, a exceptional win-rate of 62.3pc. 

Although Spurs have not received on the road within the league since January, they’ve gained on their previous three visits to the London Stadium. They are 4/5 to win on Saturday, with the draw 11/4.

Manuel’s men the not so pleased Hammers

Fifth after beating Manchester United in September, West Ham have since drawn two and lost four in the Premier League and sit 16th within the desk. In that point they have also been thumped 4-0 by Oxford United in the EFL Cup. 

An damage to goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski within the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth on 28 September has proved vital. His alternative Roberto has conceded eleven targets prior to now five matches and No three keeper David Martin could get the nod on Saturday.

Odds of 5/1 on the Hammers to keep a first clear sheet for the reason that United match replicate their defensive uncertainty, and a worth of 3/1 on a home win means that Pellegrini has issues in different areas of the pitch.

Betting tip: Kane could be the difference

Spurs stay with out their first-choice goalkeeper and captain, Hugo Lloris, so Harry Kane continues to wear the armband. The centre-forward has been in nice kind for club and country, spreading his 20 objectives in 21 appearances across the Premier League (six), Champions League (four) and European Championship (10).
