Fixture Overview

  • Fixture: West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur

  • Competition: Premier League 2025/26

  • Date & Time: Saturday, 13 September 2025 – 5:30pm

  • Venue: London Stadium, London

West Ham will host Spurs at the London Stadium, which has been a tough ground for visiting teams in recent years.

Current Managers

West Ham – Graham Potter

  • In charge since 2023, Potter has transformed West Ham into a tactically flexible side, capable of playing possession-based football but also effective on transitions.

  • Current 2025/26 season form (pre-fixture): Mixed start, strong at home.

  • Potter tends to rotate his squad intelligently in the Premier League, and West Ham have been defensively solid at the London Stadium.

Tottenham – Thomas Frank

  • Took over in 2023 after Son’s departure. Frank, formerly of Brentford, emphasises high pressing, structured defensive organisation, and fast counter-attacks.

  • Spurs’ 2025/26 start shows a team adapting to Frank’s system, with some early defensive solidity but occasional issues breaking down deep blocks.

Managerial Matchup: Potter vs Frank is tactically intriguing. Potter usually dominates possession and looks for controlled buildup; Frank’s Spurs are more reactive and look to exploit spaces left by possession-heavy teams.

Tactical Insights & Key Stats

  1. West Ham at Home: Strong defensively; 1.5 goals conceded per away fixture by Spurs on average.

  2. Spurs Under Frank: Less reliant on individual brilliance (e.g., Son), more team pressing; goal distribution across multiple players.

  3. Recent Goals Trend: Last 5 meetings saw both sides scoring in 3 games. Set-pieces are historically important for West Ham; Spurs’ high press can exploit West Ham’s defensive transitions.

Player & Squad Notes

  • West Ham: Likely to rely on pace on the wings, aerial threats from set-pieces, and midfield control by Declan Rice.

  • Spurs: Without Son, Kane and Richarlison take on bigger roles; Frank may rotate to adapt to away fixtures.
