Just included in the opening thread for those who missed it.

West Ham won 1-0 on our ground last season, but haven't won back to back away league matches against us since November 1966 under Ron Green wood. They have won just one of their last 10 Premier League (PL) games (D2 L7), while away from home they have lost each of their last six. Only Bourne mouth (7) have won fewer PL point so far in 2020 than West Ham (8).

West Ham's Michail Antonio has scored 4 goals in six PL appearances against us, scoring each goal at a different ground (Upton Park, White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London Stadium). He is one of four players to score at different four grounds against the same opponent in a single PL fixture, along with Steed Malbranque (Fulham v Man City, Christian Eriksen (Everton v Spurs) and Dele Ali (Spurs v Watford).

In all competitions, the away side has won six of the last seven matches between us and West Ham, including each of the last four in a row. The last home win in this fixture was back in 2017, a 1-0 victory for the Hammers.

We are looking to complete a PL double over West Ham for the first time since the 2012-13 season under Vilas-Boas. We have lost our last 2 PL London derbies (both v Chelsea), last losing 3 in a row back in August 2005. We have also lost two PL London derbies (W1), more than we had in our previous 22 (W22 D6 L1). Our win rate against the Hammers in mid week matches (Tuesday to Thursday) is just 17% (W1 D3 L2), compared to 54% on games played between Friday to Monday (W22 D6 L13). Our only midweek victory against the Hammers in the competition came way back in December 1993 (3-1).

We have dropped 5 points from winning positions in our last two home PL games, losing 2-3 against Wolves and drawing 1-1 with Man Utd despite leading. We had only dropped 4 points from winning positions in our previous 23 previous PL home games.

During his entire managerial career, Jose Mourinho has managed more games against David Moyes without losing, than any other Manager (13 W8-D5). Kane has scored 29 goals in just 47 PL London derby matches - only Thierry Henry (43), Frank Lampard (32) and Teddy Sheringham (32) have netted more.
Wish you wouldn't post this stuff, you just know the exact opposite of form and history will happen. We are all doomed I tell you, especially Riggi ?

Antonio to score against us again? He and the rest of them always seem to step it up whenever they play us.

I’ve no idea what they are like under Moyes.

Start fast, concentrate in defence, early goal. Do that and we will be alright. Mourinho would have planned for both these first two games together.

Subs will be crucial if it’s a tight game though because of the extra 24 hours rest we have had.

First time Jose has all six attackers at his disposal. :finger:

Add to this the hope that N'dombele features, and performs, I'm looking forward to this.

I'm oddly confident about tonight. No excuses for us - extra day's rest, all attackers available. I predict Son will turn it on and score a brace

I would love a Burnley at home type scoreline.

Interesting to see how we approach this from the start. COYS

If the last match is anything to go by I'm fully expecting a Sky Sports punditry team of Alvin Martin and Tony Cottee in the studio, Tony Gale on comms with Ray Winstone and Russell Brand pitchside.

Don’t forget that Spurs favourite James Corden in your lineup!
