Another intense london derby for punters to get stuck into here & with both Tottenham & West Ham United committed to attacking football we are expecting this to be a really entertaining game.
It goes without saying that all local derby matches have an extra edge to them & this one certainly does but the overriding factor when these two sides meet is that the games are always dramatic, intense & certainly entertaining and we expect the same here.

Tottenham need a win to keep their push for a Champions League place going while West Ham United need points in their fight against relegation so there is everything to play for & that should mean both sides will go all out to win.

Tottenham have largely been excellent this season & despite disappointing home defeats by Stoke City & Wolves, Tottenham’s home form has been excellent & that was perfectly illustrated by their tremendous performance in beating Manchester City 3-0 in their last home match.

That 3-0 win over Manchester City was an excellent, confident performance & Tottenham followed that up by beating Blackburn 2-0 away & drawing 0-0 away at Fulham.

Tottenham have displayed great quality, team spirit, commitment & belief in those 3 matches & clearly the 3 clean sheets have also been a major factor & show that Tottenham will not be easy to break down here.

Tottenham’s greatest quality is their attacking ability & pace and the likes of Jermain Defoe & Aaron Lennon will be determined to repeat the fantastic ability they have shown this season & indeed showed when Tottenham beat West Ham 2-1 earlier this season.

Gianfranco Zola brings his West Ham United side into this match on the back of two confidence boosting performances & results against Chelsea & Portsmouth so we do expect them to show enough confidence & belief to be positive in this match.

The performance against Chelsea showed they had the commitment & ability to compete and clearly the vital win over Portsmouth should give them another massive boost but their terrible away form must be a concern.

West Ham United have only achieved 6 points from a possible 27 away from home this season and so any positive result will be viewed as an excellent one by Zola & the West Ham fans.

History suggests that this game is going to be competitive, physically intense & certainly entertaining so anything is possible but Tottenham have had a definite edge in this fixture over the years & they look a rock solid bet to make their extra attacking quality pay here.
