Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham prediction, preview, team news and more | 2021-22 League Cup
Tottenham Hotspur host city rivals West Ham in the quarter-finals of the 2021-22 League Cup on Wednesday.
Antonio Conte's side are coming off the back of a stunning 2-2 draw with Liverpool in what was their best performance of the season.
After getting knocked out of the Europa Conference League with a forfeit against Rennes, the manager will look at this competition as a great chance for silverware this season.
West Ham caused a huge upset in the last round to get here, knocking out defending champions Manchester City 5-3 on penalties.
However, their form ever since has been patchy.

West Ham had the weekend off after their clash with Norwich was postponed but their form has been poor lately.
Tottenham gave their best performance of the season in the draw with Liverpool on Sunday. That will have their confidence soaring ahead of this match.
