Tottenham Looks to Rebound Against Struggling West Ham

LONDON (Interstat) — Tottenham Hotspur will look to halt a recent slide and complete a season sweep of rival West Ham United when the London clubs meet in the Premier League on Saturday.

The match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a critical fixture for both sides as the league campaign pushes into the new year. Spurs (Tottenham Hotspur) enter having lost two consecutive matches, including a 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa on Jan. 10. Their form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five league outings.

West Ham arrives in a more precarious state, mired in a dismal run of results. The Hammers have lost four of their last five Premier League matches, including a 2-1 home loss to Nottingham Forest on Jan. 6 and a 3-0 defeat at Wolverhampton on Jan. 3. They have failed to score in three of those four losses.

The recent head-to-head history favors Tottenham decisively. In their last meeting on Sept. 13, 2025, Spurs delivered a commanding 3-0 victory at West Ham’s ground.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Tottenham is projected to secure a 2-1 victory in Saturday’s contest. The model reflects Spurs’ home advantage and West Ham’s defensive vulnerabilities, having conceded three or more goals in four matches this season.

For Tottenham, the match represents a chance to stabilize before a daunting February schedule that includes matches against Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal. Manager Ange Postecoglou will demand a response after the disappointing results against Villa and Bournemouth.

West Ham manager David Moyes is under increasing pressure to reverse his team’s fortunes. A positive result against their capital rivals could provide a vital spark ahead of a fixture list that also features Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City in the coming weeks.

Key tactical battles will likely center on Tottenham’s attacking pace against West Ham’s defensive structure, which has looked fragile. Conversely, West Ham will hope their forward line can exploit a Spurs defense that has kept only one clean sheet in its last eight league games.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at the 62,850-seat Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
