Fewer touches than Areola: 3/10 West Ham star now has to be dropped. West Ham United started brightly against Tottenham Hotspur earlier today, taking the lead through Mohammed Kudus, but Spurs equalised before half-time. With the tie finely poised, Julen Lopetegui knew that a confident display in the second half would allow the club to secure just their third Premier League win of the season, but the visitors collapsed. The Irons conceded three unanswered goals during the second period – with that man Kudus also seeing red late on as Spurs ran riot – and the pressure is now firmly…

Julen Lopetegui sack mooted at West Ham United after what happened in loss v Tottenham Tom Rennie has told Julen Lopetegui he won’t have a “leg to stand on” if West Ham United sack him after their defeat to Tottenham. The Hammers returned from the international break in disappointing fashion as they were beaten 4-1 by Spurs on Saturday (19 October) despite taking the lead through Mohammed Kudus who was later sent off. While it is unclear whether or not Lopetegui is under any pressure from the Irons’ hierarchy, talkSPORT broadcaster Rennie believes the manager could have no complaints if…

Julen Lopetegui makes Konstantinos Mavropanos error – West Ham United confirmed XI v Tottenham. Mavropanos out of his West Ham United starting XI for the clash against Tottenham on Saturday (19 October). The Hammers posted the confirmed lineup on X [19 October], naming an unchanged side from the 4-1 win against Ipswich Town before the international break. While the Spaniard has opted to stick with the side that recorded his first win at the London Stadium after three consecutive losses, Mavropanos has been exceptional on international duty with Greece and the in-form centre-back should be disappointed to miss out. West…

Tony Cascarino baffled by West Ham United news ahead of Tottenham, ‘What’s Happened?’ Tony Cascarino cannot believe Niclas Fullkrug is still injured at West Ham United ahead of the match against Tottenham on Saturday (19 October). Julen Lopetegui confirmed in his pre-match press conference his side will be without the German for the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Cascarino discussed Fullkrug’s absence ahead of the match against Spurs live on talkSPORT [19 October, 8:55am], showing his bewilderment at how the forward is still recovering from injury. “By the way, what’s happened?

TNT Sports have made a terrible, and quite frankly embarrassing, decision for Tottenham vs West Ham. West Ham United head to north London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this afternoon. Julen Lopetegui is in desperate need of a positive result, as is Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, with both sides having underwhelmed in the Premier League so far this season.

A new-look front-line…

West Ham star Edson Alvarez talks up exit yet again and it’s simply not on.Edson Alvarez looked like the perfect replacement for Declan Rice when he first arrived at West Ham but has cut a frustrated figure for the best part of 2024. If Edson Alvarez is enjoying life at West Ham he has a funny way of showing it. The Mexican was Tim Steidten’s first signing after his arrival in east London last summer. But it looks increasingly like he may also be the first player signed by the German to depart. When Alvarez first arrived in east London…

Paul Merson predicts who will win when Tottenham face West Ham on Saturday. Tottenham are ninth in the Premier League after seven games and haven’t been consistent enough since the start of the 2024-25 campaign. Ange Postecoglou’s side are coming on the back of a disappointing defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion where they threw away a two-goal first-half lead to lose 3-2. Despite their troubles, it’s still early doors and a London derby against a West Ham United side that has struggled this season gives them the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways. And Paul Merson feels Tottenham…

West Ham to agree big deal extension but parting of the ways still inevitable. West Ham United are set to an important new deal according to a top board source but a parting of the ways is still inevitable. The Hammers have agreed some very important deals in recent years. Signing Jarrod Bowen up to a new seven-year contract was huge for West Ham. Selling Declan Rice for £105m was the biggest transfer deal the Hammers have ever done. That has proved crucial in allowing West Ham to completely overhaul the squad. Daniel Kretinsky’s £150m deal to buy 27 per…

Edson Alvarez blows away international media as West Ham United gem stars in win v USA.
