Westham vs Manchester United

image

WestHam have been largely solid at the start of the 2021/22 season, providing early signs that their exploits last term were not a fluke. While the Hammers have been held to two frustrating draws in as many games, they still remain one of five clubs who are yet to be beaten in the Premier League. Most recently, David Moyes & co. beat Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Europa League.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have gone some way in proving their credentials as Premier League title contenders, having won three of their first four games to sit atop the table at the start of Gameweek 5. However, the Red Devils come into the weekend clash against West Ham on the back of a disappointing performance that saw them getting beaten 2-1 by BSC Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League.

Tottenham vs Chelsea

Tottenham made a perfect start to the new season, winning three in three in the league, but injuries hit Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad hard post the international break, leading to a shock 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. That was followed by a 2-2 draw against Rennes in the UEFA Europa Conference League in midweek, leaving the Lilywhites under pressure to turn things around, even if it is early days in the season.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are off to a fine start to the new campaign. With ten games in four points, Thomas Tuchel’s men entered the matchday as joint table-toppers, although Liverpool have since moved to the top after a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace. The Blues defeated Aston Villa 3-0 last time in the league, which was followed by a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League. They will be hoping to extend that run on Sunday.

Tottenham vs Chelsea Team News

Tottenham is set to be without Son Heung-min and Eric Dier due to injury, while Japhet Tanganga is serving his one-match suspension after he was sent off at Palace last weekend.

Nuno was then dealt a further blow as Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn suffered injuries during the 2-2 draw against Stade Rennes on Thursday, with both players set to be ruled out of the meeting with Chelsea today. Bryan Gil could come in for his first Premier League start.

Chelsea manager Tuchel could have N’Golo Kante available if the Frenchman recovers from an ankle injury suffered against Liverpool before the international break.

The form of Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho could see Tuchel be patient with Kante’s return, however, while Christian Pulisic remains sidelined with an ankle injury picked up on international duty with the USA.
