Tottenham Hotspur returned to action with an impressive showing against Liverpool in a 2-2 draw in a league match on Sunday. They will be switching lanes to focus on the League Cup as they welcome West Ham United in the quarter finals on Wednesday. Spurs are coming from an intense game at home to Liverpool and they shouldn’t expect it any easier against West Ham United. In their last five matches, both sides have scored in three and four have produced over 2.5 goals. Spurs have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches and their run at home has been good in recent times. In the last five home matches, Spurs have four wins and a draw.
West Ham United have gone into some slump in their recent matches, but having been out of action this weekend, they’ll want to come back with a strong response. A well rested West Ham side can be devastating, and perhaps that’s what they needed after going on a run of just one win in their last five matches. They have failed to score in the last three matches, losing two of them. This will be the third match in five against London opposition. They beat Chelsea 3-2 but lost 2-0 to Arsenal in their most recent game and they go to this game with only one clean sheet, though defence hasn’t been their best performing department. In the last 10 matches, West Ham have two clean sheets, while away from home they’ve managed just one win in the last six matches.
West Ham United aren’t in their best shape; they’ve been poor in attack and have shown really little improvement in defence. Ahead of this game, they had some rest after their match against Norwich was postponed and they should be well rested. However, they meet a Spurs side fresh enough from playing just one game in about two weeks. Spurs have a good run at home and had a decent display against Liverpool in their last game. Based on their home run, back them for a win here.
