Paul Merson is predicting Tottenham Hotspur to win at West Ham this weekend.
Merson is backing a 3-1 away win for Spurs, pointing out that their performances on the road in the league this season have been better than at home.
Spurs have won their two away matches in the Premier League this season, beating Newcastle 2-0 and Everton 3-0.
At home they have failed to beat Chelsea, Burnley and Swansea City.
Merson said: “West Ham have turned a corner after good performances against Huddersfield and West Brom but I can’t look past Tottenham here.
“They have been very good away from home – what they did at Everton was brilliant – and I can see them scoring three again.
“The Hammers were good against Huddersfield and solid at The Hawthorns but Tottenham are a cut above both.”
Tottenham’s only previous visit to the London Stadium ended in defeat, with West Ham winning 1-0 at the end of last season.
Manuel Lanzini scored the winner that evening but he will not be available for selection this weekend as he is out with an injury.
West Ham have had a tough start to the season, winning just one game and sit in 17th position, three points behind Tottenham who in 8th.
