It has not been a good start to the season for Spurs‘ rivals, who lost their first two Premier League games.

As well as that, Frank also has a very solid record against West Ham. Tottenham have already put in a couple of strong performances this term as well, which should worry their upcoming opponents.

They beat Burnley 3-0 in the opening game of the season before defeating Manchester City 2-0.

If you are a Tottenham fan, it is very promising heading into Saturday’s derby at the London Stadium.

It will be the first game that Spurs play since Daniel Levy announced his resignation as club chairman following a 25-year spell in the role.

There is a lot going on off the pitch at Tottenham right now, with the club also attracting interest despite the Lewis family not putting it up for sale.

Former Newcastle United joint-owner Amanda Staveley recently made an approach to buy Tottenham.

West Ham vs Tottenham score prediction

Spurs will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 loss to Bournemouth when they travel to the London Stadium.

In contrast to Frank’s side, West Ham were able to win their last game before the international break, beating Nottingham Forest 3-0.

Again, though, Tottenham have had a much better start to the season than West Ham, who had been extremely poor up until their victory over Forest.

Given that and Frank’s superb record against the Hammers, The Spurs News is predicting a 2-1 win for the away side.

Following their trip to east London, Spurs’ Champions League campaign begins with the visit of Villarreal on September 16.
