| Fredua Koranteng Adu Offline Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Estados Unidos Posts: 256,709 vCash: 20158194 Rep Points: 916 | West Ham v Tottenham West Ham are suffering a costly dip in form at the moment, due to the absence of Bellamy and Ashton. Basically, without their main strikers, West Ham do not play half as good as they can. January should see the manager add a striker or two to the squad, but until then West Ham will suffer some poor results. Robert Green is helping them stay put and it is surprising he is not in contention for a place in England squads. The Hammers 5-0 thrashing of Derby last time out cannot really be taken seriously, as both teams were terrible on the day, only Derby were much worse defensively than West Ham. West Ham desperately need their strikers back. Spurs are unbeaten under Juande Ramos and look a more comfortable side now. Surprisingly, Robbie Keane is finding himself on the bench more, but Darren Bent and Defoe are making a good impression to the manager, so Spurs will have to rotate all four strikers more often. With arguably the best bunch of strikers in the league, Spurs should have no more problems with goal-scoring. However, they will need to settle defensively but more importantly make sure the midfielders are creating enough to help the forward men. So long as the team form a good, creative combination, Spurs will quickly be back in the top ten. Tottenham are a team on the up, West Ham are currently slipping down. I can only see these trends continuing, especially if West Ham perform as boringly as they did against Derby in the first half last time out. Tottenham are still short on confidence, but they should win this game. Prediction: Narrow Away Win |

But Craig Bellamy (groin) is still out and Lee Bowyer - suspended anyway - is recovering after a hernia operation. Tottenham have doubts over Steed Malbranque and Younes Kaboul but Gareth Bale has been back in training after a foot injury and could return. Ledley King (knee), Ricardo Rocha (ankle), Anthony Gardner (ankle) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) are out. |

"One route is injections, and the other is another operation, which would be longer. "But elsewhere, I am are really pleased. It looks like one or two of the injured players are coming back." |

| Fredua Koranteng Adu Offline Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Estados Unidos Posts: 256,709 vCash: 20158194 Rep Points: 916 | BIG-MATCH FACTS The 111th London derby between these clubs sees West Ham out to stretch their unbeaten league run to five and Tottenham, chasing a first away victory of this Premier League campaign. West Ham have gained 32 Premier League points against Tottenham; they have not picked up more against any other club. Premier League matches this season involving Tottenham have produced more goals than any other club; 47 (23 for, 24 against). Tottenham have scored as many goals away from home in the Premier League as West Ham have managed at Upton Park (eight). The White Hart Lane based club are seven points behind West Ham, even though they've scored five more goals. They have however conceded 14 more. If this match lives up to last season's corresponding fixture, it will be quite a dramatic affair. The Hammers were leading 2-0 at half time and 3-2 with five minutes remaining, but contrived to lose by the odd goal in seven. |

BOWYER is the Hammers' top Premier League marksmen as all four of his goals were in the league. Matthew UPSON and Robert GREEN are the only remaining players to have been on the field for every minute of every one of West Ham's Premier League matches this season. BOWYER is a double shy of 50 career Premier League goals (Leeds, Newcastle and West Ham). |
