West Ham are hoping for a big injury boost for our London derby against Chelsea today. Julen Lopetegui will be well aware of the magnitude of the fixture as we face our London rivals, with a big opportunity to get the season in decent shape after 5 matches played. Emerson sustained a knock in the previous draw at Fulham, however its hoped the Italian will have shaken it off in time to face his former club at the London Stadium today. Fullkrug is another question mark though after picking up an ankle complaint, but he could well be included within…
Tottenham Hotspur haven’t had the best of starts to the new season. Indeed, Spurs have picked up just four points from their first four games this season, and many of their players just haven’t performed.

The winger has been in the spotlight after his recent performances, but he answered his critics with a winning goal in the Carabao Cup this week. Speaking to Sky Sports, Guglielmo Vicario has been discussing Johnson’s ability and his recent goal, and he was full of praise for his teammate. Guglielmo Vicario praises…

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to follow up their last-gasp League Cup victory over Coventry City in midweek by besting Brentford on Saturday. Spurs were on course to suffer a humiliating defeat to the Championship side on Wednesday, only for Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson to rescue the visitors with late goals. On Saturday, Tottenham will get the opportunity to make amends for their North London derby defeat against another London side. Brentford have had a solid season so far, giving Manchester City a scare last week and only losing to Pep Guardiola’s side and Liverpool thus far. Pre-match pundit predictions…
It would be fair to say that things haven’t entirely gone according to plan for Tottenham Hotspur this season. Ange Postecoglou’s side have picked up just four points out of a possible 12 in the Premier League, despite playing relatively well for three of those games, and came perilously close to crashing out of the League Cup to Championship side Coventry City on Wednesday night. For whatever reason, the Australian’s side just haven’t found their feet yet, and for all their intricate play, they seem incapable of putting the ball in the back of the net. However, he has the…

In form ace has ensured “West Ham will be kicking themselves” as Irons hierarchy slammed. After making a huge number of signings in the summer, West Ham arguably haven’t had the start to the 2024/25 season that many people expected. At present the Irons sit in 14th place having won just one of their four games so far, and the finger is already pointing at new manager, Julen Lopetegui, given that he’s continued to depend on tried and tested players rather than throwing his new signings in at the deep end. For example, Niclas Fullkrug has found it difficult to…
Forget Antonio: Lopetegui must unleash “underrated” West Ham man in rejig. West Ham United have struggled to implement Julen Lopetegui’s more possession-based system since his arrival, only winning one of their opening four games in the Premier League. One man who has started well is new signing, Max Kilman, who joined from Wolves this summer for a fee of around £40m. The defender has played all five of West Ham’s fixtures so far, totalling 450 minutes, and providing one assist already. However, the Hammers still seem to have a strike department issue, with Michail Antonio struggling for form, and Niclas…
A notorious Chelsea hooligan has explained why West Ham was a scarier place to visit than Millwall, despite The Den’s fiery reputation. Pat Dolan aka ‘Fat Pat’ was one of England’s most infamous hooligans throughout the 1980s, and recalled his days spent on the terraces in Cass Pennant and Martin King’s 2003 book; Terrace Legends. Dolan admits that he found himself in numerous scraps with rival fans over the years, rarely backing down. However, he noted that West Ham’s former home Upton Park was one stadium that he seldom enjoyed visiting. Revisiting a particular instance, Dolan said: “West Ham’s the…
