West Ham face Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

West Ham winger Michail Antonio has hailed the strength of opponents Tottenham Hotspur and picked out their key player.

Speaking the the London Evening Standard, Antonio said West Ham must shut down Christian Eriksen if they are to stand a chance of beating Spurs once again.

West Ham have won their last two home games against Tottenham, with Antonio netting the winner two seasons ago.

He said: “I’ve trained with Harry Kane and Dele Alli with England and I know how good they are.

“But, for me, Christian Eriksen is the playmaker. He is the link between defence and attack and he’s the one getting the assists and popping up with a few goals.”

Eriksen has scored once and has three assists in all competitions already this season for Tottenham.

Antonio missed the last match between the two teams due to injury and is still attempting to work his way back to top form.

The winger is expected to start this weekend and has played 90 minutes in the last three league games for the club.

This weekend he will be hoping it all comes together for him, but West Ham have struggled for form this season, winning only one Premier League game.
