In this week 5 match on Aug 31st, West Ham United will play host to Tottenham Hotspur in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams in the ever popular London derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, West Ham United recorded a 0-2 loss against Brighton & Hove Albion. Alexis Mac Allister struck first for Brighton & Hove Albion in the 22nd minute on a penalty, then Leandro Trossard added another in the 66th minute on a feed from Pascal Groß In the end, West Ham United was frustrated by Brighton & Hove Albion’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Brighton & Hove Albion ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Tottenham Hotspur recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Harry Kane struck first for Tottenham Hotspur in the 64th minute on a feed from Ivan Perišić, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Wolverhampton Wanderers couldn’t muster any offence and Tottenham Hotspur ran away with the shutout win. Tottenham Hotspur is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Tottenham Hotspur is glad to have Harry Kane in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
