West Ham and Graham Potter can deliver a huge uplifting win over Spurs today, according to Chris Sutton.
Our Hammers take on our bitter London rivals at the London Stadium with a win so desperately needed, as Potter looks to try and end a torrid season on a high.
With the visitors in poor shape themselves domestically, there is arguably no better time to face Spurs, so it’s hoped West Ham can deliver the performance and result all fans crave.
“This is 17th versus 16th in the Premier League which tells you how bad both teams have been this season,” said the pundit on BBC Sport.
“Everyone knows Tottenham’s focus will be on their Europa League semi-final second leg with Bodo/Glimt so I think West Ham boss Graham Potter needs a result here more than Ange Postecoglou.
“Potter’s results have been poor since he took over from Julen Lopetegui in January and the Hammers fans have not had the upturn they wanted in the way their team play either.
“Spurs can still be dangerous even when they are out of form but Ange is not going to pick his strongest team. That gives West Ham a better chance of getting the win they badly need, but I don’t see them doing it in style.” Sutton’s prediction: 2-1
