Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United clash this weekend in a Premier League match that could potentially be a turning point for both clubs. Both teams have faced inconsistent form and are looking to get back on track.

Spurs have shown glimpses of their attacking potential under Ange Postecoglou but have struggled with consistency. A recent 3-2 loss to Brighton, despite leading 2-0, raised questions about the team's resilience. However, victories over Manchester United and Brentford indicate their capability.

The Hammers have also had a mixed start, with Julen Lopetegui's arrival not immediately translating into consistent results. A recent 4-1 win over Ipswich Town provided a glimmer of hope, but they'll need to maintain that momentum.

Key Players to Watch

• Brennan Johnson (Tottenham): The Welsh forward has been in fine form, scoring in six consecutive matches.
• Jarrad Bowen (West Ham): The English winger has been a constant threat, contributing goals and assists.
• Mohammed Kudus (West Ham): The Ghanaian midfielder's versatility and attacking flair make him a key player.

Predicted lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner.

West Ham Team News:

The Hammers are still without summer signing Niklas Füllkrug, who is out with a calf injury.We're not likely to see many, if any, changes to the side that started the win over Ipswich Town last time out.

Predicted lineup: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Rodríguez; Bowen, Souček, Paquetá, Kudus; Antonio.

Tottenham's latest game saw them fall to a 3-2 defeat away at Brighton in what was a real gut punch. Spurs were excellent in the first half and took a 2-0 lead through goals from Brennan Johnson and James Maddison, a lead that they took into the dressing room at half-time.

However, the second half could not have been more different, with Spurs completely collapsing in an 18-minute period that saw Brighton score three times, with the first goal coming just three minutes into the second half.

Prior to that, Spurs had won five on the bounce, beating Ferencváros (2-1), Manchester United (3-0), Qarabag (3-0), Brentford (3-1) and Coventry City (3-1).

West Ham's form does not read positively on the whole, with the Hammers winning only one of their last five matches, but that win came in their most recent game, a convincing 4-1 win over Ipswich Town. Goals from Michail Antonio, Mohammed Kudus, Jarrad Bowen and Lucas Paquetá gave Julen Lopetegui a resounding win.

That result followed a barren run where the Hammers drew 1-1 with Brentford, lost 5-1 to Liverpool, Lost 0-3 to Chelsea and drew 1-1 with Fulham.
