Tottenham set to receive major boost ahead of West Ham clash
By Manuel Meza
Tottenham are set to receive a major triple boost ahead of their Premier League clash against West Ham United on 19th October.
Tottenham are gearing up to face West Ham United in a highly-anticipated Premier League showdown right after the international break ends on October 19th.
This clash is shaping up to be crucial for both sides, with plenty at stake as they head into this London derby.
For West Ham, a good result is essential, especially with Julen Lopetegui under the spotlight despite a recent 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town.
The Hammers currently sit 12th in the league table with only eight points from their first seven matches, and their upcoming fixture list looks nothing short of daunting.
The trip to Tottenham marks the beginning of a challenging run of games that could be make-or-break for Lopetegui's side.
On the other hand, Tottenham are riding a wave of optimism with the news that key players might return just in time for the derby.
Tottenham set to receive major boost ahead of West Ham clash
According to a report from Premier Injuries (h/t Hammers News), the likes of Son Heung-Min, Richarlison, and Wilson Odobert could be fit to play against West Ham.
Their return would be a significant lift for Spurs as they look to maintain their strong start to the season under Ange Postecoglou.
Son, Richarlison, and Odobert’s availability could cause plenty of headaches for West Ham. Postecoglou will surely be looking to make the most of their return to keep Spurs' momentum rolling.
While Tottenham look set to benefit from their returning stars, West Ham can take some comfort in their decent record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Since 2017, the Hammers have managed to win three and draw two of their last nine encounters on Spurs’ turf, showing they’re more than capable of rising to the occasion.
Even so, pulling off a victory this time around will be a tall order for West Ham, especially with Tottenham's reinforcements on the horizon.
Although it might be tough for all three players to start or get significant minutes, if they do recover, they’ll undoubtedly be three dangerous and valuable options for Spurs.
