Two capital clubs determined to end disastrous Premier League campaigns on a high note collide at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as West Ham United play host to near neighbours Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby.
Just one place and one point separate the two under-performing teams in the top-flight table, as Spurs come into the weekend in a lowly 16th place and at risk of being leapfrogged by their 17th-placed visitors should they suffer a 20th Premier League loss of the season this weekend.
However, Ange Postecoglou‘s men should have some wind in their sails after a 3-1 midweek win over Bodo/Glimt put them on the brink of reaching the Europa League final, whereas the Irons blew a 2-1 lead in the dying embers of last weekend’s clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, somehow losing 3-2 at the Amex.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 224
Spurs wins: 102
Draws: 55
West Ham wins: 67
A capital clash that first took place back in the 19th century – back when Tottenham and West Ham competed in the Thames and Medway League – there have now been 224 competitive meetings between the Lilywhites and the Irons in all tournaments.
Spurs’ win counter recently ticked over to the three figures, as they have triumphed in 102 of those previous battles, although West Ham have a respectable 67 wins to their name, while the other 55 matches ended in a split of the spoils.
The Hammers’ most recent success in this London derby came during their trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December 2023, where Jarrod Bowen and James Ward-Prowse delivered an early Christmas present to the Irons faithful after Cristian Romero‘s opener.
The Irons ended up taking four points off of Tottenham during David Moyes‘s farewell campaign, also holding Spurs to a 1-1 stalemate at the London Stadium in April 2024, marking the first time since the 2020-21 season that Tottenham had not beaten the Irons in a Premier League campaign.
During that coronavirus-impacted year, no fans were at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to witness one of West Ham’s greatest turnarounds of all time; the Hammers were 3-0 down heading into the final 10 minutes, only to astonishingly rescue a point in a 3-3 draw thanks to a late Manuel Lanzini spectacular.
West Ham also got the better of Tottenham in both of their home games in 2021, but they now have just one victory to show from their last seven against the Lilywhites, who recovered from going a goal down to thrash Julen Lopetegui‘s disjointed side 4-1 in October 2024.
Tottenham vs. West Ham is a regular sight on the football calendar after a hiatus; the London rivals have met eight times in the Premier League immediately after an international break, and Spurs have not lost any of them.
Formerly of both Tottenham and West Ham, Jimmy Greaves is the highest goalscorer on record in this fixture with 13 goals, while Harry Kane struck 11 times against the Irons during his Spurs career.
