Premier League: West Ham vs Tottenham preview

Premier League: West Ham vs Tottenham preview
Tottenham Hotspur start yet another new era when they visit West Ham United on Saturday. It will be the first competitive match in charge for new manager Mauricio Pochettino, their 10th boss in 13 years. Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood were sacked by chairman Daniel Levy last season after the club sold the world's most expensive player - Gareth Bale. They spent 110 million pounds on new signings after selling Bale but most of the new players have failed to impress. West Ham managed to survive last season under Sam Allardyce and they will probably struggle in the vicinity of the relegation zone once again this term. They kick off the campaign without their two main strikers as Andy Carroll is out for two months and Enner Valencia is also unavailable. Probable starting line-ups: West Ham: Adrian - O'Brien, Reid, Kouyate, Cresswell - Diame, Noble, Nolan - Downing, Zarate - Cole Spurs: Lloris - Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Davies - Bentaleb, Sandro - Eriksen, Holtby, Lamela - Soldado My prediction: 1-1 draw. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: West Ham win - 14/5 Draw - 13/5 Tottenham win - 21/20
