West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League preview and odds
May 05, 2017 20:00pm - London Stadium
Premier League
West Ham United will look to extend their unbeaten run to five games when they host title challengers Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium on Friday night.
Hammers still not mathematically safe
West Ham United may have gone four games without being beat but they are still not mathematically safe from relegation. Defeat on Friday night could leave the Londoners sweating if Swansea City go on to beat Everton on Saturday night.
Despite moving into their new stadium, it has been a season to forget for the Hammers who were European contenders for much of last season. Having struggled to settle into their new home, they have spent most of this term keeping their heads above the relegation water. Speculation surrounding the future of manager Slaven Bilic has never gone away and will no doubt continue into the close season, even if the Irons stay up as expected.
Meanwhile, opponents Tottenham Hotspur still have not given up hope of snatching the Premier League crown from the hands of favourites Chelsea. The North London team are still four points behind the Blues with just three games left to play. With such a gap to bridge, it is imperative that Mauricio Pochettinos men win all their remaining games while hoping that their rivals drop points.
The Lilywhites have lost just one of their last eight on the road (at Liverpool) including their last three in a row. They remain the leagues most in-form team and can be expected to win against a team that has struggled in matches against the top sides this season.
