My Thoughts
On taking the Spurs job, Harry Redknapp's stated aim this season was merely to keep the team in the Premier League. With 38 points on the board, that aim looks like it has been achieved, although the team are probably a bit too far off challenging for a Europa League place. That cannot, though, be said of West Ham, who currently hold 7th position. Last weekend saw the latest product of the famous West Ham academy, Junior Stanislas, make his breakthrough into the Hammers first team, scoring the opening goal in the 2-0 victory over Sunderland, and being rewarded this week with a new contract. Last weekend's late collapse at Blackburn aside, Tottenham's recent form is good, including a 1-0 home win against Chelsea. Having said that, West Ham themselves are in form right now, having not lost in their last 5 games. Tottenham home games haven't seen many goals this season- just 25 (16 for, 9 against) in 15 games, and Robert Green in goals for West Ham seems to be in form, as ever.
The Verdict
Difficult to separate these two. There can be no denying the improvement in results for Spurs under Redknapp, however Gianfranco Zola's Hammers are playing beautiful football and getting results from it. Score draw
The Bet
I fancy a little scorecast here. 1-1 (best price 6/1 Betfred)
