It will be a tricky test for Tottenham Hotspur when they visit the London Stadium to entertain West Ham United. The visiting side will feel the urge as they seemingly have a little chance to lift the Premier League title in May and for that, they have to make sure they win every remaining match.
West Ham have often been the party poopers as we have seen a number of times they have played spoilsport. The Hammers are placed 15th with 39 points and although it is very unlikely they are going to drop into the relegation zone anytime soon but to make things sure a win in the next match would be enough to earn a place in the next season.
Spurs’ form in the Premier League undoubtedly have been the best in the last few seasons and a Premier League crown would be completely justified. Mauricio Pochettino has moulded the team into a well-oiled machine. The likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli have come up with their top form and it has been a glorious season for them.

Adrian; Fonte, Collins, Reid; Nordtveit, Masuaku, Fernandes; Lanzini, Kouyate; Calleri, Ayew.
Key Players
Tottenham Hotspur
Dele Alli
The midfielder has performed sensationally so far. He single-handedly destroyed Arsenal in the last match as the North London side defeated their archrival in a nailbiting encounter. Tottenham’s chance of winning the Premier League is very slim but they have to take the chances that come their way. Spurs need to win their rest of the matches to stay in the title hunt and for that Alli needs to deliver.
West Ham United
Manuel Lanzini
The Argentine playmaker needs no introduction. His ability to move the ball with flair has added enormous quality to the Hammers’ side. Every time Lanzini gets the ball at his feet, West Ham look dangerous while attacking. He will be there to exploit the gap in Spurs’ defence.
Odds
West Ham United- 7/1
Draw- 17/4
Tottenham Hotspur- 2/5
