Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to enhance their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season when they take on West Ham United in the London derby on Tuesday evening.

Spurs will head into the Premier League game against West Ham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the back of a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at home in the league.

Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho will have Dele Alli back in contention after his one-match ban, and although he was coy about the England international starting against the Hammers in his pre-match press conference – as quoted in Football.London – the midfielder is likely to replace 28-year-old Argentine Erik Lamela as the creator-in-chief.

Giovani Lo Celso should also replace Harry Winks if he recovers from a groin problem and start in central midfield alongside Moussa Sissoko.

Harry Kane will lead the line for the North London outfit, while central defender Toby Alderweireld is likely to be on the substitutes’ bench yet again.

This is how Tottenham are likely to line up against West Ham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Tuesday evening:
