West Ham host Tottenham in their fourth match of the Premier League season on Saturday.

West Ham's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest has eased the pressure on under-fire manager Graham Potter.

Work is still to be done at West Ham, and a statement victory against Spurs would do Potter the world of good.

Thomas Frank will be hoping to bounce back from his side's defeat to Bournemouth with a clinical display at the London Stadium.

Tottenham predicted as favourites by supercomputer

West Ham's defensive fragility is a key reason why Spurs will go into this fixture as the favourites to pick up all three points.

Opta Analyst's supercomputer predicts Spurs have a 41.8 per cent chance of winning on Saturday, whilst West Ham are given a 32.7 per cent chance of victory.

With a draw predicted at 25.5 per cent, Potter will hope to build some more momentum ahead of a crucial period that could define the trajectory of West Ham's season

In recent meetings, West Ham and Spurs have recorded victories over each other, making this weekend's matchup an enticing prospect.

West Ham will be hoping to claim their first home win over Spurs since 2021, and they may have to rely on some debutants to help them see out the match.

Igor Julio and Soungoutou Magassa could make debuts for West Ham

West Ham signed Igor on deadline day, with the defender joining on a loan spell from Brighton.

Igor already has a lot of Premier League experience and is motivated to finally get some consistent minutes at West Ham, something he was unable to achieve at his parent club.

Magassa is more likely to start, following the criticism of Guido Rodriguez in the last year.

The young French midfielder is an imposing figure who is extremely athletic and willing to break up play and release creative outlets into the final third of the pitch.

Alongside Callum Wilson, who is expected to make his first Premier League start for West Ham, these two new additions could prove decisive in the match against Tottenham.
