Fixture Focus - Spurs (16 Aug 2014)

West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur

The first game of the new season, Spurs will be making a short trip across the capital to Boleyn Ground, home of West Ham, who had defeated us thrice in the last season. This game also marks the first competitive one for the new manager of Spurs, Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs is going through a transition phase now, with some new players coming in and potentially more players going out before the end of the transfer period. So far, Davies, Vorm and Dier had joined the Lilywhites. A new man in charge, with new players, expect new formations and tactics.

Big Sam is still around at West Ham and like Spurs, are undergoing a transition phase with players coming in and going out. One of the signings is Valencia, the star striker for Ecuador who was featured in the just-over World Cup.

First-game-of-the-season jitters will be in play here, expect the unexpected.

COYS!
