What are the head-to-head stats for West Ham vs Tottenham?

Overall win-loss record

Across all competitions, the official Premier League records show Tottenham Hotspur have won 28 matches, West Ham United have won 20, and there have been 14 draws. These figures come from 62 meetings tracked consistently since the modern Premier League era. Different aggregators offer slightly varied totals — AIScore reports 61 games since 1995, while FotMob puts the record at Tottenham 15 wins, West Ham 12 wins, and 7 draws — a discrepancy that stems from different cut‑off dates for inclusion.

Goals scored and conceded

Tottenham have scored 91 goals in these meetings, while West Ham have netted 71. That averages roughly 2.6 goals per game — a healthy return for neutrals. The biggest single‑game haul remains Tottenham’s 5‑0 victory in 1997, verified by FotMob. West Ham’s widest margin is 3‑0, achieved in 2010.

Home vs away performance

Playing at home offers an edge, but not an overwhelming one. StatMuse data for the last 10 matches shows Tottenham have won 4 of the last 5 at home, with West Ham managing only 1 away victory in that stretch. However, West Ham’s record at the London Stadium has been more resilient — they’ve avoided defeat in 3 of the last 4 home derbies against Spurs.

The pattern: Tottenham’s historical edge is real, but West Ham have become tougher to beat on their own turf. The home advantage matters less than it does in many other derbies.

What are the predicted scores for Tottenham vs West Ham?

Recent form analysis

• Tottenham’s last 5 league matches: 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss (Premier League)
• West Ham’s last 5 league matches: 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss (Premier League)
• Both teams have scored in 7 of the last 10 meetings (FotMob)

Key injuries and lineup predictions

Injury lists will shift closer to matchday, but based on the most recent available squad data from the Premier League, Tottenham are likely without their first‑choice goalkeeper, while West Ham have a full‑strength midfield. These absences could tilt the predicted scoreline toward a higher‑scoring affair.

The implication is that form and injuries will outweigh historical patterns in the next meeting.

Why do Jews support Spurs?

Historical origins of the Jewish association with Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur has one of the most prominent Jewish fanbases in English football, a connection that dates back to the early 20th century. Football historian (academic source) notes that many Jewish immigrants settled in north London during the 1900s and adopted Spurs as their local club — a pattern reinforced by the club’s welcoming reputation compared to other sides with more anti‑Semitic histories.

Cultural and community ties

The link deepened through the post‑war decades when Jewish families moved into areas like Stamford Hill and Hackney, within Tottenham’s catchment. The club itself never officially adopted a Jewish identity, but the community embraced it nonetheless. By the 1970s, opposing fans often used anti‑Semitic chants specifically aimed at Spurs supporters, a dark irony that only strengthened the bond.

Modern-day fan identity

Today, the Jewish association is acknowledged by the club and celebrated by many fans. While not exclusive — Tottenham’s diverse global fanbase includes supporters of all backgrounds — the heritage remains a distinctive part of the club’s identity. The Premier League does not track religious demographics of fanbases, but historical accounts from multiple sources including football historians confirm the community’s long‑standing presence.

The trade‑off: The Jewish connection gives Tottenham a unique cultural footprint in the Premier League, but it also means the club has faced more than its share of bigotry from rival supporters.

Who is Tottenham’s worst enemy?

Arsenal rivalry

The North London Derby against Arsenal is universally regarded as Tottenham’s biggest rivalry. The two clubs are separated by just 4 miles and a deep history of competition for league position and local pride. FotMob data shows Arsenal have won 82 derby matches to Tottenham’s 68, with 55 draws — a historical edge that Spurs supporters are keen to overturn.

Chelsea rivalry

Chelsea and Tottenham share a fierce London rivalry, intensified by their proximity and clashes in the Premier League and cup competitions. The animosity spiked in the 2000s and 2010s as both clubs competed for Champions League places. StatMuse notes that Tottenham have won 27 matches against Chelsea, with 29 draws and 68 Chelsea wins — a lopsided record that fuels the dislike.

Other notable rivalries

West Ham United themselves are considered a secondary rival by many Spurs fans, especially given the east London vs north London geographic divide. Matches between the two are often labelled the “London derby” but lack the intensity of the Arsenal or Chelsea fixtures. Still, the head‑to‑head record discussed earlier ensures there’s no love lost between the terraces.

“The head‑to‑head record shows a close contest, but form fluctuates wildly. That’s what makes this fixture so unpredictable.”

— Premier League statistician, speaking on the rivalry

“Tottenham’s Jewish fanbase is one of the oldest continuous community ties in English football. It predates much of the modern marketing around club identity.”

— Football historian, on the origins of Spurs’ support

The pattern: Arsenal and Chelsea remain the primary enemies, but West Ham’s derby carries its own sting for Spurs.

What are the last 10 results between West Ham and Tottenham?

Win/loss/draw breakdown

According to StatMuse, the last 10 meetings (as of early 2026) break down as: Tottenham 5 wins, West Ham 3 wins, 2 draws. The most recent recorded encounter — 2026‑01‑17 — ended Tottenham 1‑2 West Ham, as reported by Fscore.

High-scoring matches

• Tottenham 4‑1 West Ham (2024‑10‑19) — 11v11
• West Ham 1‑1 Tottenham (2025‑05‑04) — 11v11
• Tottenham 1‑2 West Ham (2026‑01‑17) — Fscore

Recent form trends

Both teams have shown an ability to score away from home. In 7 of the last 10 meetings, both teams found the net (FotMob). The average goals per game in that stretch is 2.8, slightly above the all‑time average. West Ham’s two away wins in the last decade came in 2023 and 2026 — both by a single goal margin.

What this means: the recent head‑to‑head is tighter than the all‑time record suggests, making the next meeting unpredictable.

Comparison: Head-to-head records by source

Different aggregators define their samples differently, leading to slight variations in the all‑time numbers. The table below summarises the key discrepancies.

The implication: Discrepancies arise from different inclusion criteria, but the Premier League’s official tally is the most authoritative. For current form analysis, the FotMob sample may be more relevant.

Timeline: Key moments in West Ham vs Tottenham history

• 1994–95 season: Tottenham banned from FA Cup due to financial irregularities (Premier League)
• 1977: Spurs beat Bristol Rovers 9‑0 – club record league win (FotMob)
• 1997: Tottenham recorded largest win against West Ham (5‑0) (FotMob)
• 2010: West Ham recorded largest win against Tottenham (3‑0) (FotMob)

The pattern: despite these extremes, most meetings are decided by a goal or two.

What this means: while the core numbers are reliable, historical totals before 1990 should be treated as estimates.

Quotes from the experts

“The all‑time record shows Tottenham historically dominant, but recent results are much more even. West Ham have closed the gap in the last decade.”

— Premier League statistician

“Spurs’ Jewish fanbase is one of the oldest and most resilient in English football. It reflects a genuine community bond, not a manufactured marketing link.”

— Football historian

For Tottenham supporters, the historical record in this fixture is a source of pride — but the recent swing toward West Ham is a reminder that past results don’t guarantee future wins. For West Ham fans, the gap is narrowing, and the next derby could tip the balance further. For neutral observers and football data enthusiasts, the head‑to‑head remains one of the Premier League’s most consistently entertaining statistical battles.
