“No better chance” | Potter can deliver huge victory over rivals today | OneFootball

Graham Potter has the opportunity to deliver a huge and much needed win over Spurs at the London Stadium today.

Following what has been a torrid season for all connected with the club, many will hope West Ham can lift the spirits and get the club feeling more optimistic about where things are heading.

Spurs are in terrible form domestically also, so Chris Sutton feels that Potter has a great opportunity and predicts will have enough to overcome our bitter rivals.

“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
