A week off? In this economy? Tottenham Hotspur will be well-rested heading into their latest London Derby, this one against struggling West Ham United. It remains to be seen, though, whether that rest will make a difference to a Spurs side that are trying to work through troubles of their own.
Some have therefore dubbed this match “El Sackico”, with both Thomas Frank and West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo at risk of losing their jobs with another poor performance. It’s the second edition of such a match in which Spurs have been involved, the last one interestingly enough also involving Nuno as his Spurs side suffered a 3-0 drubbing against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United.
There’s added intrigue as well with the January transfer window looming large. New signing Conor Gallagher could be involved for the Lilywhites, while West Ham have attempted to bolster their attacking options with the signings of Taty Castellanos and Pablo.
It’s probably not going to be high-quality football; but the potential ramifications are significant.
COYS!
