West Ham vs Tottenham: What time does it start, where can I watch it, odds, form guide and more

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at the London Stadium

West Ham United play Tottenham Hotspur in a high-profile London derby on Saturday afternoon.

After a dreadful four-loss start, Manuel Pellegrini’s Hammers have bounced back with impressive wins over Everton and Manchester United; they currently lie in 15th place on seven points.

Tottenham’s start to the season has been somewhat mixed; they are only two points from top (in fifth position on 18 points), but disappointing showings against Watford, Liverpool and Inter Milan curtailed their excellent start.

What time does it start?

West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur kicks off at 3:00pm (BST) on Saturday.

It’s a big game for…

Hugo Lloris: The Tottenham captain has had a torrid time since lifting the World Cup with France in the summer. The 31-year-old was charged with drink-driving in September, missed a flurry of games due to a thigh injury and was at fault for Barcelona’s first goal in their 4-2 win at Wembley in the Champions League. The goalkeeper, who was lucky not to be stripped off the captaincy after his driving ban, needs to find his best form again, and be a leader from the back that Tottenham have so desperately missed thus far.

Best stat…

18: In their last 18 away league matches, Tottenham Hotspur have failed to score just the one time - a 1-0 loss at West Brom in May.

Player to watch…

Andriy Yarmolenko: Once a player confined to newspaper transfer rumours, Andriy Yarmolenko has impressed since breaking into West Ham’s starting XI. The 28-year-old Ukrainian, who moved from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, scored an impressive double at Goodison Park on his first league start for the Hammers last month, and has looked dangerous ever since. Despite missing a golden chance against Chelsea, the tricky left-footed winger has added spark to West Ham’s attack and, alongside Felipe Anderson and Marko Arnautovic, will be a threat against a Tottenham back four which has leaked 15 goals so far this season.
