Premier League football returns from the international break with an intriguing London derby on Saturday lunchtime, as we host West Ham Utd in the lunchtime kickoff. We suffered a calamitous capitulation in a 3-2 loss to Brighton before the hiatus, while the Irons restored a sense of pride by thumping Ipswich 4-1.

Successive win number six was on the cards for us at the Amex Stadium last weekend, where the red-hot Johnson and Maddison propelled us into a two-goal advantage versus Hurzele's side, but not even the most pessimistic Spurs supporter could have envisaged the collapse that followed.

Minteh's response just three minutes into the second half offered Brighton a glimmer of hope, which became more than just a glimmer when Rutter brought the Seagulls back on level terms, before ex-Arsenal forward Welbeck gave Gooners around the land a good laugh with a heroic winner.

Always one to cut a calm demeanour both before and after matches, Postecoglou did not follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Conte in his post-game press conference, but it did not take a body language expert to determine that the Australian was apoplectic.

Postecoglou admitted that Brighton’s calamity was the worst defeat since becoming our manager, who had started to rediscover our golden touch but now reside in an unspectacular ninth place in the Premoier League, already losing three of our seven top-flight matches in 2024-25.


Furthermore, each of our last seven Premier League home games has seen us win one then lose the next, and with us sinking Brentford 3-1 in our last top-flight match at our ground, those of a superstitious nature may fear the worst on Saturday.

Team News

We are waiting with bated breath to hear whether captain Son Heung-min will shake off a thigh issue in time for the visit of West Ham; the South Korea captain was called up to his country's squad for their World Cup 2026 qualifiers before dropping out.

Son is one of three hopefuls for the London derby alongside Richalison and Bergvall, who suffered a minor calf injury on Sweden duty but would not have been expected to start on Saturday either way, but Odobert (hamstring) remains unavailable.

In spite of our atrocious second half at the Amex two weekends ago, we should field a near-identical starting XI, although Werner will almost certainly make way if Son is given the thumbs-up from the medical team.
