Tottenham to Win to nil<\/strong><\/td>\n2\/1 @ BOYLESports<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThe Hammers are on a dreadful run and are winless in their last ten league outings. The Hammers have lost five of their last six and have failed to score in their last two on the road, suffering 3-0 defeats at Manchester City and bottom-of-the-table Wolves. Spurs have been in poor form themselves but can pull off a result here against their former boss. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Micky van de Ven to score a header<\/strong><\/td>\n12\/1 @ BOYLESports<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMicky van de Ven has three goals in total for Spurs in the league this season, with two of those being headers. The defender may have more of a chance of making that three this weekend than the odds suggest. The key stats here are West Ham have conceded a league-high 11 headed goals in the Premier League this season, with only Arsenal (9) scoring more headers than Spurs (8). Similarly, West Ham have shipped more goals from corners than any other side (12), with no side scoring more than Spurs (11).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
