Tottenham Hotspur hosts West Ham United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in a fixture from the Premier League’s 22nd round. Stay with us because we will take a look at this clash in these Betting on underdogs in football matches.

New season, but the same old Tottenham. Spurs are currently 14th in the league standings with 27 points, having won just 7 of their games in the competition. Far from surprising, but we’re hearing more and more voices for the sacking of the manager Thomas Frank. The Danish tactician have a limited amount of time to save his job.

West Ham United are having issues that are even worst – they are in the Premier League’s relegation zone. The Hammers are currently 18th in the standings with 14 points – 7 points behind Nottingham Forest and the safe zone. Right now West Ham are desperate for every point they could get.

Tottenham Hotspur News & Anaysis

Tottenham are without a win in their last three matches in the league – two draws and one defeat. In their last fixture Spurs faced Bournemouth away from home, but lost despite scoring twice – 2-3.

Last weekend Thomas Frank’s team offered another disappointment to its fans – the team was kicked off the FA Cup as well. Spurs had a tough challenge against Aston Villa, but conceded a 1-2 defeat at home. Wilson Odobert scored Tottenham’s only goal in the match, but it wasn’t enough.

There are new problems for Thomas Frank now. His Brazilian striker Richarlison left the pitch before the half-time break as he got injured. Most likely Randal Kolo Muani will replace him in the line-up against West Ham.

West Ham United News & Analysis

One point won in the last five matches – West Ham are in a terrible shape right now. Just like Thomas Frank, the Hammers’ manager Nuno Santo could be sacked very soon if he doesn’t lead the team to some wins.

In their last Premier League game West Ham faced Nottingham Forest at home, but lost by 1-2. It was very bad news for the Hammers as Forest are a direct competitor for survival. West Ham actually opened the score with an early goal, but conceded twice and once again lost.

What could Nuno Santo change against Tottenham? He could eventually trust players like Pablo, Potts or Guido Rodriguez – players who started from the bench against Forest.
