Tottenham handed major triple boost and it’s bad news for West Ham.

West Ham United take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League after the international break ends on October 19th.

The Premier League clash with Tottenham will be a vitally important one for West Ham, for more reasons than one.

Firstly, it’s a London derby, so Julen Lopetegui will be fully aware of just how much the fans will want to see a big performance from the players.

And secondly, the Spaniard is still under huge pressure at West Ham, regardless of Saturday’s 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.

The Hammers are currently sitting in 12th in spot in the table, having taken only eight points from our opening seven games.

The problem for Lopetegui and his players is that things are set to get even harder now, with a nightmarish run of fixtures on the horizon.

Tottenham away is the start of that horror run in 11 day’s time, and Spurs have just been handed a major boost ahead of the game.

Major triple Tottenham boost is bad news for West Ham
Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to have some of his key players back from injury for the clash with the Hammers.

And it seems like that’s exactly what will happen.

According to a report from Premier Injuries, Son Heung-Min, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are all in line to return to action on October 19th – the day we play Spurs.

Those three players are vitally important to Tottenham, so it will be a huge boost for them to have them back.

However, at the same time, it will be terrible news for the Hammers.

In fairness, we actually have a decent record away at Spurs.

Since our Carabao Cup clash with them in October 2017, West Ham have won three and drawn two of the nine games we’ve played against them away from home.

A win for West Ham against Tottenham on their patch this time will be a tall order though.

Let’s hope that Lopetegui gets his players fired up for this one, but Spurs will be majorly boosted by having three of their top attacking players back fit and available for selection.
