West Ham can raise their game against Tottenham

3pm Saturday

Tottenham have not completed successive league victories at West Ham since 2009 and they may fall short this weekend with the draw looking a strong possibility.

The 'derby' factor of this fixture is often overlooked by markets.

It is a game West Ham fans always look forward to and their players tend to respond.

Spurs have piled up plenty of points without playing particularly well but their chances are improved by the return of key man Christian Eriksen after a four-week absence.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 29-10 bet365
