West Ham take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 5 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 31st at London Stadium (London).
West Ham have been more successful in the international arena so far. The"Hammers" guaranteed themselves a European Cup autumn. In qualifying this month the British were able to beat Viborg - 3-1 at home, 3-0 in Denmark. Against this background, the start in the Premier League was actually failed by David Moyes and his wards. It's okay to lose 0-2 to Manchester City, the national champions. But after that there was a “dry” defeat to the newcomer, Nottingham Forest. And then the fall continued in London with Brighton - already another 0-2, which sent them to the bottom of the standings. Not everything worked out in Birmingham in the recent round. But Fornals scored a long-awaited goal from Rice's pass in the 74th minute, which turned out to be the only one and brought victory over Aston Villa.

Tottenham intend to hold on to their positions. The “Spurs” struggled for some time without Pochettino, dropping out of the group of leaders of English football. Only Conte, who came already during the last season, was able to take the 4th place in the 2021/2022 championship. But Antonio himself admitted that it was almost an accident. And under his pressure, London conducted a large-scale transfer campaign. Only time will tell which of the newcomers will benefit, so far the experienced Perisic is mostly good. A good start was provided by the usual leaders, primarily Kane. It was Harry who made out the final 2-2 on the Chelsea field just before the final whistle. And he also scored the only goal in the confrontation with Wolverhampton. And it is not surprising that his brace designed a victory over Nottingham Forest. Only the "carriers" of shells change. Finally, at least as an assistant, an expensive newcomer, Richarlison, distinguished himself.
West Ham had a good stretch in head-to-heads, they even managed to beat their neighbors twice in a row last year. But in December, Tottenham won 2-1 at home in the League Cup, and in early spring, Spurs managed to achieve a more confident 3-1 at home. West Ham should be encouraged by the weekend's success. But Tottenham is clearly higher class.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win.
