West Ham United are due to take on Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League action tonight.

David Moyes, Manager of Sunderland gives his team instructions during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Sunderland at Emirates Stadium on May 16, 2017 in London, England.

David Moyes has told West Ham United’s official website that he is very limited with what he can do with his team selections at the London Stadium.

West Ham are due to face Tottenham Hotspur this evening, in what will be their second match in just four games.

While many managers have rotated over the busy Christmas period, Moyes insists he doesn’t have the luxury of being able to do that.

West Ham have such a lack of options, that Moyes feels he is only able to switch around his attacking players.

The Scottish boss said: “Reece Oxford kicked the ground in training and has sprained his ankle. He probably might not be fit for Thursday, that’s my first thought.

“The biggest thing is I don’t have many changes and I don’t have lots of players. I’ve got some forward players I could change around but I don’t have many players in other positions. I’m not carrying any more players.”

West Ham will hope that fatigue doesn’t play a part in their match against Spurs, but they were pushing right until the end in their last outing.

The Hammers had to come from behind, and relied on a last minute strike from Andy Carroll to get past West Bromwich Albion.

Tottenham also played just two days’ ago, as they beat Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium to keep pace with the rest of the top four chasers.

If West Ham are able to pick up a victory tonight, they will move four points clear of the relegation zone.
