Thomas Frank’s Tottenham team will look to exploit West Ham United’s major weakness as the two sides face off on Saturday.
Tottenham have made a positive start to their Premier League campaign, winning two of their opening three Premier League fixtures.
Meanwhile, West Ham’s season got off to a slow start, losing heavily to Sunderland and Chelsea with an aggregate scoreline of 8-1.
Following two weeks off due to the international break, the two sides will face off this Saturday, and Frank will have his eye on one key West Ham weakness.

Due to injuries, Frank may be forced to thrust Tottenham’s new signings Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani into the fold much earlier that the Dane may have hoped.
Yet, one key stat suggests that West Ham may be the perfect opponent for Kolo Muani and Simons to face on their Premier League debuts.
After a summer that has seen Frank gain reinforcements in the shape of Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha, Simons and Kolo Muani, there is no doubting the hierarchy in North London trust the former Brentford head coach to deliver success at Tottenham.

Injuries to Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke will sting, but equally, Frank will be aware that when the trio return to full fitness, Tottenham will possess one of the Premier League’s most potent attacks.
After a positive start to his tenure at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the additions the club has given Frank place Tottenham well in the race to gain a top four berth in the Premier League this season.
