🔍 Match Preview

  • Fixture: West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur

  • Competition: Premier League 2025-26

  • Date & Time: Saturday, 13 September 2025 at 18:30 BST at the London Stadium.

  • What’s at stake:

    • Tottenham are looking to bounce back after a slip-up in their last match.

    • West Ham recently got their first win of the season (after two defeats), trying to build momentum.

  • Team form & concerns:

    • West Ham have conceded quite often so far; defensive solidity remains a concern.

    • Tottenham have some injury absences and recent inconsistency, but their attacking potential gives them hope.

  • Interesting subplot:

    • Tottenham’s new signings (Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani) may feature, possibly from the bench or as rotations.

    • West Ham re-signed Lukasz Fabiański, adding experience, especially given their goalkeeping concerns.


🧠 Predicted / Likely Lineups

Here are the expected starting XIs based on recent team news, injuries, and tactical hints:

West Ham United (likely 4-2-3-1)Tottenham Hotspur (likely 4-3-3)
GK: Mads Hermansen GK: Guglielmo Vicario
Defenders: Walker-Peters, Kilman, Mavropanos, El Hadji Malick Diouf Defenders: Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence or Destiny Udogie
Midfield 2: Tomáš Souček, Ward-Prowse (or another deeper-lying partner) Midfield 3: Pape Matar Sarr, João Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur

📈 Prediction & Key Factors

  • Likely result: Tottenham have the edge and are predicted to win narrowly, e.g. 2-1 in favour of Spurs.

  • What could decide it:

    1. Tottenham’s rotation & fitness — how fresh their attackers are, especially the new signings.

    2. West Ham’s defensive frailties — if they leave space or fail to close down quickly, Spurs could exploit that.

    3. Momentum & confidence — West Ham will want to use home advantage; Spurs will want to respond after their recent slip-ups.

    4. Set pieces and transitions could be important given West Ham’s defensive issues and Spurs’ attacking speed on the break.
