Stan Collymore predicts West Ham clash v Tottenham in Premier League
By Andrew Odiwe
Ex-England international Stan Collymore predicts Tottenham to take the three points in their Premier League showdown against West Ham.
With 48 points each, the London rivals are in the hunt for a top-four spot. Although, Antonio Conte’s side have a game in hand.
Despite another impressive campaign for the East Londoners, Collymore expects them to come second best at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, losing 2-1.
Writing in the Sunday People [print edition, 20 March, page 57], he said: “Huge derby with no quarter given and it will be Harry Kane at the double.”
Massive
A London derby. Both sides level on points. And a top-four spot to fight for. This game has all the ingredients to be a classic.
In fact, the last time David Moyes’ side played at Tottenham in the league, Manuel Lanzini scored thatlast-minute goal to come back from a three-goal deficit
You could argue that result was the turning point for the side last season, as the former Everton manager began to turn the fans from doubters to believers as the Irons went onto qualify for the Europa League via the Premier League.
West Ham have shown over the last two seasons that they can mix it with the big boys. Not many would’ve fancied them to beat the six-time Europa League champions over two legs on Thursday.
Even if the Hammers end up pointless in N17, the fans know the good times are still coming. And that they’re massive, wherever they go.
In other West Ham news, the Irons want to sign this “incredible” defender with his price-tag set to be slashed by 65 per cent.
