Background information, news and team form

West Ham is playing in the Europa League this season in addition to their domestic league, which they won after a great 5th place finish last season. In the Europa League, West Ham is doing very well. In the group stage, after 3 games played, the Hammers have notched up 3 wins with clean sheets to top the table of their group. Along with them in the group are Belgian Genk, Austrian Rapid Vienna and Tottenham's familiar Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb, who knocked Tottenham out of the Europa League last season. West Ham's not-quite-quality wide squad is having an effect on the domestic scene, and players who played Thursday's Europa League game are having to start in the weekend's game, which is having an effect on their lack of concentration and conceding crucial goals towards the end of the game. Now West Ham is in ninth place after eight rounds played with 14 points, if they win, West Ham would move above their London rival. Tottenham managed to keep hold of their star goalscorer, Harry Kane, over the summer despite huge interest from Manchester City, and the Englishman continues to be a major attacking threat along with South Korean Son Heung-Min. In addition, Tottenham also engaged Portuguese coach Nuno Espirito Santo from Wolves in the summer and his handwriting was immediately evident, especially in Spurs' early games of winning by one goal and coming out of a solid defensive position. Tottenham is also playing European cups this year, specifically the Conference League. However, Tottenham is giving space to mainly young players in this competition and this is also reflected in their results within this competition. After three matches Spurs have only one win and one draw and with 4 points they are only in the third non-relegation place of the table.
