West Ham boss David Moyes eyes enviable Premier League winning record vs Tottenham

West Ham manager David Moyes will become only the third manager to win 250 Premier League games if he can guide his team to three points against Tottenham later today.

The Hammers looked really poor against Chelsea in the first 20 minutes, but found form later to take a point against the visiting Blues last week, they will hope for the same if not more against Spurs in north London.

West Ham have suffered five straight away defeats in London derbies so they will first want to avoid being the first London side to lose six in one season, which would be an unwanted Premier League record.

What they have got going for them though is that- they have a strong structure when defending set-pieces with the Hammers being the only side this season not to have conceded a goal from a corner.

Tottenham is the best team when it comes to scoring set piece having bagged 11, the highest by any side in the league so far.

Moyes knows his team is not out of the woods yet even if results have slightly improved lately-but Spurs lost heavily to Leicester before a narrow defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League followed.

The Lillywhites will also be without manager Antonio Conte who stayed back in Italy to continue his recovery from gallbladder operation.

Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Hugo Llrois are all also missing this one due to injury while West Ham will be without Lucas Paqueta who picked up an injury against Chelsea.
