As we approach the end of August's Premier League schedule, there is still time to squeeze in a feisty London derby that sees West Ham play host to Tottenham on Wednesday.
With the Hammers finally opening their Premier League points account at the weekend, David Moyes' men will now look to build on Sunday's success at Aston Villa.
However, such a feat will be easier said than done, and with Tottenham currently unbeaten during this Premier League campaign, they will look to extend their impressive run of results at the London Stadium.

Although the league table does not hold too much weight in the first month of the season, Tottenham are already looking like they could be genuine title contenders. If that is the case, then they will need to get the better of their crosstown rivals in midweek.
Then again, West Ham are never willing to roll out the red carpet when it comes to the visit of Spurs, and after beating them on home turf last season, they will look for a repeat performance this coming Wednesday.

West Ham vs Tottenham Betting Tips
Don’t expect any clean sheets
Although Tottenham kept a clean sheet against Nottingham Forest last Sunday, they did push their luck at times. Had their opponents had more composure in attack, they would have had the better of Hugo Lloris in the Spurs’ goal.
Which means now that the Hammers have picked up their first win of the season, an air of confidence is once again in the East London atmosphere. With that mind, both teams should score in this one.
This match won’t end in a draw
Expanding on the above tip further also leads nicely into the Over/Under market before Wednesday. If both teams are to score one goal, there should be room for at least one more in the game. Expect at least three goals on Wednesday.
Harry Kane is in a groove
With Harry Kane having already scored four goals this season, including an opening weekend blank at home to Southampton, the England international is a strong bet to score on Wednesday.
That won’t be music to the ears of any West Ham supporters, and with the 29-year-old currently priced at +110 to score anytime, this is a tip that needs some serious consideration.
West Ham vs Tottenham Prediction
West Ham 1-2 Tottenham
Tottenham will not want to see their unbeaten streak come to an end at the hands of West Ham, especially when you consider there is no love lost between these two sides.
Although both teams getting on the scoresheet seems rather likely on Wednesday, I do think the visitors will exact some revenge for last season’s reverse here and will end up winning by two goals to one.
West Ham vs Tottenham Best Bets
➕ Heung-Min Son to Score Anytime Goal (+140) at BetMGM Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 unit
Going into the fifth game of this new Premier League season, Heung-Min Son is yet to get off the mark. When you consider he shared the Golden Boot award last season, this is something of a surprise.
However, all droughts in front of goal will come to an end at some point, and when you factor in the South Korean's notable prowess in attack, he still constitutes good value in the anytime scorer market. Especially with the forward being priced at just +140 to score on Wednesday.

➕ Tottenham 2-1 Win (+750) at PointsBet Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 unit
As mentioned above, I believe both teams will score on Wednesday and there will also be a total of over 2.5 goals. Which means with these two tips on offer, it makes sense to look at a correct score bet.
With that in mind, I am going to back up my earlier score prediction and also suggest this is one of two best bets before Wednesday. A 2-1 win for Tottenham is priced at odds of +750 and this is definitely worth a second look.
