The arrival of Jose Mourinho onto the scene has made Saturday’s London derby between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur even bigger than it was.
Both teams go into the London Stadium clash in dire form and will want any advantage they can get ahead of kick-off.
According to EXWhuEmployee, West Ham have been boosted by the return of not one, not two but three players ahead of the weekend.
He states that Mark Noble, Jack Wilshere and Michail Antonio have all trained this week and are in contention to start against Mourinho’s side.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Given the current run West Ham find themselves in, the news comes as a welcome confidence-bolsterer.
The long-awaited return of Antonio is particularly exciting considering he scored the decisive goal as the Hammers inflicted Spurs’ first defeat at their new stadium earlier this year.
The form will most likely go out the window on Saturday lunchtime and the team who shows more on the day will be the team receiving three points.
Mourinho will be itching to get off to a winning start but Manuel Pellegrini is under severe pressure as it is and will know he needs to get a result against an old foe.
