The Premier League returns from the international break with a London derby as West Ham host Tottenham at the London Stadium on Saturday night. Both sides come into the clash in decent form, setting the stage for a heated battle in east London. For West Ham, the focus will be on building momentum after their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
That victory finally handed Graham Potter his first victory of the campaign. It came after a difficult run of defeats to Sunderland and Chelsea, as well as an EFL Cup exit against Wolves. The Hammers will take confidence from their emphatic display last time out. Tottenham, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from a shock 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.

Spurs’ defeat against Bournemouth halted their strong start under new boss Thomas Frank. Prior to that, Spurs had claimed back-to-back wins over Burnley and Manchester City. The setback against the Cherries highlighted issues that Frank must resolve quickly.
After three matchdays, both teams are just three points apart in the points table. West Ham’s inconsistency contrasts with Spurs’ sharper start. The Hammers will look to make home advantage count against their rivals. In terms of the head-to-head record, Spurs have historically dominated with 102 wins compared to West Ham’s 67. However, they are winless in their last five league visits to the London Stadium.

Total Goals Over 2.5 @ -135 as per BetMGM
West Ham matches have been wide-open. Their last four competitive games finished 3–0, 2–3, 1–5, 0–3 (15 total goals, 3.75 per game). Spurs, meanwhile, have shown plenty of attacking punch except in the Bournemouth defeat. With both sides capable of creating chances, three or more goals looks the most likely outcome here.
The Brazilian forward has started the 2025/26 season in strong form, with 2 goals and 1 assist in his first three Premier League matches for Tottenham. Leading Spurs’ attack and consistently getting into dangerous positions, Richarlison looks well-placed to find the net again, especially in a high-tempo London derby against West Ham.

West Ham will look to build on their big win over Nottingham Forest, but consistency has been their biggest challenge. Spurs, despite their slip against Bournemouth, have shown enough quality in attack to edge this London derby. With both sides capable of finding the net, Tottenham’s superior firepower should see them come away with a 2-1 victory.
Final Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
