Slaven Bilic: 'Tottenham Hotspur most attractive team in Premier League'

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has claimed that this weekend's opponents Tottenham Hotspur play "the most attractive" football in the Premier League.

The Lilywhites have struggled to truly find their feet in the English top flight so far this campaign, winning just two of their opening five fixtures.

Spurs caught the eye on their way to finishing second last time out, however, and Bilic believes that they deserve more credit for their entertaining style of play.

"They have patterns, good players and, for me, that makes them one of the best teams - probably the most attractive one," he told reporters.

West Ham all but ended their rivals' outside title hopes when they last met in May, coming out on top 1-0 at the London Stadium, which Bilic hopes will give his side a slight edge in this latest encounter.

"The last game should give us a psychological advantage," he added. "It gives us good memories, more than anything a good pattern to repeat what you have already done."

West Ham have won three of their last four home league encounters with Tottenham, keeping a clean sheet in each of those victories.
