Tottenham will try to get back to winning ways against West Ham after two consecutive defeats against Leicester and AC Milan. Cristian Stellini will pick the starting eleven with Antonio Conte remaining in Italy to continue his recovery from gallbladder surgery. Here Express Sport predicts how the Lilywhites may line up with the Italian facing something of a conundrum with how to deal with an out-of-form Son Heung-min.
There are no questions between the sticks at the moment with club captain Hugo Lloris still out with a knee injury. Back-up Forster has taken the gloves in his absence and this will continue against West Ham given Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman have made no senior appearances for the club.
Defence: Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Ben Davies
Tottenham have chopped and changed in central defence at times this season and this could continue against West Ham. Stellini may return to last season’s favoured trio as the club look to find the right balance in the centre.
Romero and Dier tend to always find themselves in the side when fit but Davies has been in competition with Clement Lenglet on the left-hand side. The Welshman may be given the nod today with the on-loan Barcelona man failing to impress against AC Milan in midweek.
