Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have both confirmed their line-ups for this afternoon’s Premier League tie, with Brazilian forward Richarlison starting instead of Heung-Min Son.
David Moyes’ West Ham United make the short 8-mile journey across London to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for this afternoon’s Premier League tie.
Spurs come into this one on the back of two defeats, being on the end of a 4-1 battering away at Leicester City in their last league outing. They are without first-team manager Antonio Conte, as he continues his recovery after gallbladder surgery back in his native Italy. Assistant coach Cristian Stellini will take charge for the third time this season, having won the previous two with a 2-1 Champions League victory over Marseille, and a 1-0 Premier League win over Manchester City.
The Hammers are unbeaten in their last three league matches, with one win against Everton, and two draws against Newcastle United and Chelsea. Moyes is without the likes of Maxwel Cornet, Kurt Zouma and Lucas Paqueta as they all remain out through injury.
A win would be vital for both sides this afternoon, as Spurs can move into the top-four with a victory, as West Ham would move out of the relegation zone with a triumph at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur Line-Up
Starting XI: Forster, Royal, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Skipp, Hojbjerg; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Kane (C)
Substitutes: Austin, Tanganga, Sanchez, Porro, Sarr, Perisic, Danjuma, Lucas, Son
Heung-Min Son drops to the bench after starting against Milan in midweek, with Richarlison starting in his place.
Ben Davies looks to be taking up a left-wing-back role, after enjoying the majority of his game-time as a left-centre-back since Conte’s arrival.
