**West Ham United are hoping to make it back-to-back Premier League wins when they host Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium on Saturday.**
The Hammers haven’t done that since the tail end of February when they beat Leicester City and Arsenal in consecutive games, while keeping a clean sheet each time.
Graham Potter and his troops have been through an abysmal start to the season, losing their opening two Premier League games against Sunderland and Chelsea.
They were also knocked out of the EFL Cup by Wolverhampton Wanderers in the second round.
However, they seemed to have turned a corner after thrashing Nottingham Forest 3-0 before the international break.
Potter will demand more of the same against Tottenham, setting the tone for an enthralling London derby east of the capital.
Potter has an attacking headache to address ahead of Saturday’s clash against Tottenham.
The Hammers were one of many teams affected by the international break, with striker Niclas Fullkrug picking up a calf injury while on Germany duty.
The experienced striker is now a major doubt to face Spurs, so Potter has a decision to make.
Callum Wilson is the obvious replacement after coming off the bench to score against Forest, but Potter will also be [tempted to start Crysencio Summerville](https://westhamblog.co.uk/posts/its-challenging-but-i-tried-to-motivate-myself-summerville-reveals-all-about-nightmare-start-to-west-ham-career/) following his electrifying cameo last time out.
The Dutchman got an assist and won a penalty despite coming on in the 82nd minute, becoming the first player to do so in a Premier League game in such a short timeframe.
Mateus Fernandes also caught the eye before making way for Summerville. Potter could be tempted to shift Jarrod Bowen into a central role to make space for Fernandes, Summerville, and Lucas Paqueta.
Tomas Soucek and James Ward-Prowse should anchor the midfield, while a back four of Kyle Walker-Peters, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Max Kilman, and El Hadji Malick Diouf lines up ahead of Mads Hermansen in goal.
**Predicted XI;**
**(4-2-3-1):** Hermansen; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf; Ward-Prowse, Soucek; Fernandes, Paqueta, Summerville; Bowen.
