West Ham: Current form and team news
The Irons are struggling again. They have been winless for three consecutive games: two home draws against Burnley and Aston Villa were followed by a disappointing defeat at Newcastle. David Moyes' men were leading 3-1 up until the 77th minute but managed to lose 3-4.
All this leaves West Ham 7th in the table, with 15 points separating them from the top four. Perhaps, it's time to focus on the Europa League, isn't it? On the other hand, the Londoners have no European games this week and they can try to finally add three points to their tally (and hurt their bitter rivals).
West Ham will be missing Edson Alvarez due to suspension and injured Alphonse Areola and Nayef Aguerd.
Tottenham: Current form and team news
Out of their four games in March, Tottenham lost just once, 0-3 against Fulham. Other than that, they were nearly perfect: 3-1 vs Crystal Palace, 4-0 vs Aston Villa and 2-1 vs Luton. Now they are 5th in the table, with just three points between them and fourth-placed Aston Villa.
For the Tuesday game, Spurs will be missing attacker Manor Solomon, goalkeeper Fraser Forster and winger Ryan Sessegnon. However, the latter two haven't played a single game this season, so their absence is hardly a big blow to Ange Postecoglou.

West Ham vs Tottenham: Prediction and betting tip
Away from home, the Spurs score a lot. We can easily expect them to net a couple of goals tomorrow.
On the other hand, West Ham have had enough rest and could be more efficient in front of goal compared to their previous exploits.
That being said, we might witness an eventful game with lots of goals, hence betting on a high total sounds reasonable.
Our betting tip: Goals total over 3 (Megapari odds – 1.67)
