‘The banker of all bankers’ – These West Ham fans are nervous ahead of upcoming fixture

|

In Tottenham’s six Premier League away games this season, they have only picked up a total of three points which all came from draws. Despite this, these West Ham fans are still expecting to lose when Spurs come to the London Stadium.

The last time the Irons played Tottenham,  we managed to walk away with all three points, in a 1-0 away win.

Three days before coming to the London Stadium, Spurs must take a hostile trip to Serbia when they face Cervena Zvezda (more commonly know as Red Star Belgrade) in the UEFA Champions League. Tottenham beat Red Star 5-0 in the reverse fixture, but with their dodgy away form anything could happen. This is important because many of the Spurs players will hopefully be rotated or fatigued after about 2,000 miles of travelling and a tough physical 90 minutes of football.

Star winger Son Heung-min is also banned for three domestic matches after following the red card he was given for his alleged challenge on Everton’s Andre Gomes.

After factoring all these points in, the match is, clearly, very much there for the taking. The Hammers are currently on 13 points which is the same as Spurs (Tottenham are 11th on goal difference), so a win could see us leapfrog the north London side.

However, despite all the positives in our favour, these fans are still very pessimistic about our chances of winning.
