West Ham have taken 42 points from 24 Premier League matches this season, their best total at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1985/86 (48) when they finished third and more than they won in the entire 2019/20 season (39).

David Moyes has faced Jose Mourinho on more occasions in all competitions without ever winning than any other manager (D6 L9), while this is also the most Mourinho has ever faced another manager without ever losing.

Spurs were 3-0 up with 10 minutes remaining in the reverse fixture against West Ham this season but ended up drawing 3-3. They have not failed to win either league match in a season against the Hammers since 2013/14 (L2).

Spurs striker Harry Kane has scored 11 goals in 15 PL matches against West Ham, only scoring more in the competition against Leicester City (14).
