Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Reguilon; Skipp, Hojbjerg; Lucas, Bergwijn, Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Gollini, Emerson, Rodon, Tanganga, Winks, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Dele, Son.

West Ham United starting XI: Areola; Ashby, Johnson, Dawson, Diop, Masuaku; Rice, Soucek; Lanzini, Vlasic, Bowen.

West Ham United substitutes: Randolph, Baptiste, Alese, Fredericks, Kral, Noble, Fornals, Benrahma, Yarmolenko.

Tottenham go with Hugo Lloris in goal, behind a now-familiar back three of Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier and Ben Davies.

Matt Doherty and Sergio Reguilon are the wing backs tonight, with Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg returning in midfield.

Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn come into the side too, supporting Harry Kane in attack.

Pierluigi Gollini only makes the bench despite being Tottenham’s usual cup goalkeeper, joining Emerson Royal, Joe Rodon, Japhet Tanganga, Harry Winks, Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min.

West Ham have Alphonse Areola between the sticks, whilst there is a start for Harrison Ashby at right wing back tonight.

Ashby joins Ben Johnson, Craig Dawson, Issa Diop and Arthur Masuaku in the back five, with Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice in midfield.

It’s a fluid front three tonight with no fixed striker as Manuel Lanzini, Nikola Vlasic and Jarrod Bowen all start.

That means Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals only make the bench, joining Darren Randolph, Jamal Baptiste, Aji Alese, Ryan Fredericks, Alex Kral, Mark Noble and Andriy Yarmolenko.
