Thomas Frank’s side started strongly in the first 10 minutes but conceded the opening goal when Crysencio Summerville’s shot deflected off Micky van de Ven’s backside and wrong-footed Guglielmo Vicario. Cristian Romero pulled Spurs back to 1-1 with a thumping header of Pedro Porro’s cross in the 64th minute and the home side looked likelier to score the winning goal from that point forward, until a corner kick went uncleared in the 92nd minute and Callum Wilson was the one in the right place at the right time to poke it home from two yards out.

Spurs have lost four-straight games across all competitions following last weekend’s 2-1 FA Cup loss to Aston Villa, and the previous three matches weren’t exactly a murderers’ row for Thomas Frank’s men. Draws with Brentford — who have been in good form despite Frank’s exit this summer — and Sunderland were joined by a loss to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in Week 21. The results leave Spurs in 14th place with 27 points, three points off the top half of the table and six away from sixth-place Newcastle United.

West Ham head to North London without a win in their last 10 Premier League matches, leaving Nuno Espirito Santo and his men seven points behind 17th-place Nottingham Forest with 14 points. Spurs blasted West Ham 3-0 in the reverse fixture with all of the goals coming in the second half, two of those coming after Tomas Soucek was shown a straight red card in the 54th minute.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham prediction

This simply has to be a Spurs win, and the fact that we cannot expect the hosts to show up and deliver the goods says something about the current plight of the club. Frank’s uncertain status and the impending exit of Fabio Paratici will have the stadium uneasy even as Conor Gallagher’s transfer has been confirmed by the club. Spurs should be able to topple West Ham, but can they include a good performance? Spurs 1-0 West Ham,
