Relegation-threatened West Ham United face Antonio Conte’s Tottenham in north London this weekend as they fight for Premier League survival.
West Ham is now on a three-match unbeaten run, but despite facing a Spurs team under Conte that has its own issues, few predict a win on the road. Given Tottenham’s goal-scoring inconsistency and both teams’ midfield absences, anything is possible.

Out: Maxwel Cornet, Kurt Zouma, Alphonse Aréola, Lucas Paquetá
Doubt: Gianluca Scamacca, Aaron Cresswell, Nayef Aguerd
At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, David Moyes’ Hammers will be missing crucial central midfielder Lucas Paquetá and starting center-back Kurt Zouma. Maxwel Cornet and Alphone Aréola are unavailable.
Gianluca Scamacca, Aaron Cresswell, and Nayef Aguerd’s availability also comes up ahead of this weekend. Aguerd, like Paquetá, was injured last weekend, but the Moroccan defender has an opportunity to show his fitness before the capital derby, while Cresswell and Scamacca remain concerns.
