West Ham – Tottenham: Match preview

West Ham had a fair preseason, but their official start has not gone well. They lost 0-3 to newly-promoted Sunderland in the first round, followed by a heavy 1-5 defeat at home to Chelsea. The team then went to Wolverhampton for the EFL Cup, where they lost again, conceding three goals. Just before the international break, West Ham managed their first win with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham, scoring all three goals after the 84th minute. They currently hold the worst defensive record in the league and sit at 16th in the standings.

Tottenham made a coaching change after last season, which saw them win the UEFA Europa League. Ange Postecoglou was replaced by Thomas Frank. They began the season with a defeat in a penalty shootout at the UEFA Super Cup but approached the Premier League positively. They won their first match 3-0 against Burnley and then secured a 2-0 victory at Manchester City. However, they lost 0-1 at home to Bournemouth in their third match after conceding early. Overall, they have a solid start with six points from three games and a goal difference of 5:1.
