Jeff Stelling Predicts Tottenham Win in London Derby, Warns of West Ham Danger Man

Jeff Stelling has weighed in on the upcoming London derby between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, predicting a Spurs victory and highlighting the Hammers’ key threat.

Thomas Frank’s Tottenham side are aiming to bounce back after a surprising 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth, a result that disrupted what had been an impressive start to their season.

Spurs have received a major boost ahead of the derby with the arrivals of Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani, both of whom could make their debuts in this clash.

Mohammed Kudus, who has made an impressive start to life at Tottenham, will return to face his former club. He’s expected to receive a frosty welcome at the London Stadium as he looks to make a statement.

Stelling Backs Spurs to Win, Highlights Paqueta Threat

Speaking to talkSPORT, Stelling praised West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta for his recent form, singling him out as the player Spurs must be wary of.

“The Hammers looked revitalized in the second half against Nottingham Forest,” Stelling said. “Lucas Paqueta is on fire—three goals in three games after scoring just five all last season.”

Despite Paqueta’s resurgence, Stelling believes Tottenham have the quality to dominate the match. He also pointed to West Ham’s poor home form, noting they’ve only managed two home wins in all of 2025.

“If Spurs can replicate their performance at the Etihad, I think they’ll win comfortably,” he added. “Sorry, Hammers fans—my prediction is West Ham 0, Tottenham 2.”

A Crucial Moment for Thomas Frank’s Tottenham

This derby could prove pivotal for Thomas Frank’s early tenure at Tottenham. Despite the setback against Bournemouth, optimism remains high thanks to the signings of Simons and Kolo Muani.

A win at the London Stadium—a ground where Spurs have struggled recently—would quickly erase memories of the Bournemouth defeat and restore momentum.

However, another loss would raise early questions about Frank’s leadership and put pressure on his staff, potentially derailing the strong start to the campaign.
