"While there might have been plenty of excitement in Spurs' camp following Thomas Frank's arrival, Tottenham have come crashing back down to earth and the former Brentford boss finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling point. Breaking a string of unwanted records this season and rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, the Hammers already have one-foot firmly in the Championship and they are once again installed as a major underdog here."
"Opening up the 2025/26 campaign by winning four of their first five appearances across all competitions, it appeared that Tottenham were enjoying life under Frank's guidance. However, crashing out of the FA Cup last weekend following a 2-1 loss at home against Aston Villa, Spurs find themselves at the heart of what has become a major rut. Including last-gasp heartbreak away at Bournemouth earlier in the month as they eventually fell to a 3-2 defeat,"
Tottenham host West Ham in a crucial Premier League derby as both teams seek momentum. Thomas Frank initially guided Spurs to four wins in five matches but recent form has collapsed after an FA Cup exit and league setbacks, leaving just two wins from their last 14 domestic appearances. Spurs beat West Ham 3-0 in September and have a chance to turn form around at home. West Ham have broken unwanted records, sit seven points adrift of safety and face a severe relegation threat. Saturday's match carries high pressure for Frank and positions both clubs' seasons at stake.
