The Hammers currently sit in mid-table and on 30 points, so they are just a few wins away from securing their top flight status. With how tight things are at the bottom though, Sam Allardyce will be desperate to get to the 40-point mark as quickly as possible as a few defeats could leave them in a fight to stay in the league.
Home form has been the key for West Ham this campaign as 22 of their points have come at Upton Park, so Allardyce is sure to be happy to be on home soil this weekend after three away defeats in their last four encounters.
When the crowd are behind them and the Hammers play their natural game – which is to get the ball forward as quickly as possible – it is tough for anyone to come and take the spoils here and the manager wants to do all he can to stop Tottenham playing their natural game.
A home win can be backed at 13/5, which isn’t bad value when you consider how strong West Ham are on their own turf.
As for Tottenham, things are going extremely well for Andre Villas-Boas at the moment as his men haven’t lost in the Premier League since December and secured their place in the final 16 of the Europa League on Thursday night.
With this game being on Monday evening as well, the Portuguese will be delighted that there is extra time for his players to rest and he should be able to send out a full strength team here.
There is one man that will strike fear into West Ham and that is Gareth Bale as the Welshman is proving too hot for teams to handle at the moment.
If Bale gets on the ball, he is going to run at defences and cause a number of problems. He is capable of scoring from what seems to be any distance and his crossing is usually spot-on, so it is going to be tough to keep him quiet here. He is at 6/1 to score first.
Spurs know that if they are at their best, they will claim the bragging rights on Monday evening and remain in a comfortable position in the league, at least four points clear of Arsenal in fifth. The away side are at 5/4 to come out on top here.
There is going to be a cracking atmosphere and with the two different styles these two teams play, it should be an interesting 90 minutes of action.
