It was a close run thing between the early kick off Leicester v Brighton, or the London derby, but the Mourinho factor & later kick off just swung it. Both matches have similar 1-2-X prices.
Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United @ 8.15pm
Hotspur is a very odd suffix for a football club, but there are a few, including Holyhead Hotspurs FC up near Anglesey. The name Hotspur also refers to a real life person back in 13 something, a Shakespearean character, a comic & a series of Royal Navy Warships. This, though, is the best Hotspur ever, locomotive no 70011. A Bonus Point to anyone who can guess what Station Hotspur is seen backing out of.

Harry Kane must have a great agent, as despite having the personality & charisma of a damp towel, he appears in adverts of all sorts. It's best when he does not have to speak though, he sounds about as bright as Andy Carroll.

What a talent Dele Ali is, & he certainly does not lack rattle, which gets him in trouble from time to time. A delight to watch though.
Here's a very thorough analysis of how this might pan out from the Daily Telegraph;
Match Preview
For West Ham, the man to watch is Michail Antonio, who is a stunning talent on the pitch. Not so good at parking his Lambo, mind.
I gather the new Spurs Stadium is different gravy, it certainly looks magnificent.
Imagine how Spurs owners - Joe Lewis (70%) & Daniel Levy (30%) - must feel about lockdown. They spent a fortune on the new stadium but due to it not being ready on time they lost almost a season's gate income, on top of which they had to pay rent to Wembley Stadium. Now the Stadium is open - but lockdown means no paying spectators.
They can afford it, obv, but it must have pinched a bit.
