West Ham United travel to Wembley later this week to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the EFL Cup and the pressure is on Slaven Bilic’s side to get a result.

While the Hammers’ priority is climbing up the Premier League after a poor start, they will want to build momentum by overcoming their London rivals this week and reaching the latter stages of a cup competition in the process.

West Ham are currently 16th in the league with eight points from nine matches and their 3-0 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion last time out was a massive wake-up call.

In early team news, West Ham are without Diafra Sakho and James Collins but they have an otherwise clean bill of health.

There are expected to be a few changes, with Adrian coming in for Joe Hart and Sam Byram replacing Pablo Zabaleta at right-back.

Angelo Ogbonna, Mark Noble and Aaron Cresswell will also be hoping to return to the starting line-up after being named on the bench against the Seagulls.
