West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League Preview and Odds

September 23, 2017 12:30pm - London Stadium

Premier League

West Ham United will seek to extend their unbeaten run in the league to three games when they host a Tottenham Hotspur side who have won their last four away games in a row.

The Hammers had a torrid start to the new campaign, losing their opening three fixtures before steadying the ship with a home win over newly-promoted Huddersfield Town and a draw away to West Bromwich Albion.

Those result have eased the pressure on under-fire boss Slavan Bilic but the Londoners are still just one place above the drop zone with just four points to their name.

This will be just the second home game of the season for the Irons, so there are mitigating circumstances for their poor form. Overall, they have lost just one of their last five matches at the London Stadium and they beat their opponents in the corresponding fixture last year.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur might be somewhat relieved to be playing away from home as that is where most of their success has come this term. The Londoners have yet to win at Wembley in the league, having drawn two and lost one but they have won each of their last four Premier League away matches including two this term (at Newcastle and Everton) without conceding.

In their last five Premier League away matches, Mauricio Pochettino`s men have bagged 18 goals and conceded just two. As a result, they should be clear favourites to get the win here despite losjng this fixture by a single goal last year.

Betting odds and tips

Spurs seem to be happier on the road and they will be keen to continue that trend here as they look to stay in touch with the early pace setters in the title race. The away win looks like the most likely outcome here. In the Anytime Goalscorer market, Harry Kane looks good value at 4/5.

You can back the Away Win at 4/7 and Harry Kane to Score Anytime at 4/5 - both with Bet365.
