WEST HAM have done wonders to turn things around and I think they will get something against Tottenham.

A few weeks ago they looked like they were in trouble. They were going nowhere. Now they look a dangerous team who can score goals and win games.

The atmosphere will be electric for this one. You worry for West Ham when they play the lesser teams at home.

The crowd get restless and they end up with a bad result. But when the big boys come, they can sit back and counter-attack and the fans will stay with them.

Tottenham are not playing well and had a lot of players on internatio­nal duty. I’m not sure they’ll be able to live with Marko Arnautovic.

It’s basically the same team every week for Mauricio Pochettino. I don’t see anyone on the Spurs bench who can come in and make them stronger.

When Christian Eriksen doesn’t play they lack that special someone who can open teams up. This is a hard game for them and they might come unstuck.
