Attack – Kulusevski, Son, Johnson
Richarlison is unlikely to start after only returning as a late substitute against City following minor groin surgery. But there could be an awkward moment if he does play.
West Ham striker Michail Antonio revealed in August that Richarlison won’t shake his hand following comments he made about the Brazilian last season. Hammers star Lucas Paqueta, who is also Richarlison’s international team-mate, told Antonio that the Spurs man was not happy with his criticism of him.
The tweak in midfield could see Dejan Kulusevski move back out wide after playing as a No 10 in recent matches. Son Heung-min will look to continue his fine form, with summer signing Brennan Johnson playing from the left.
Tottenham predicted XI vs West Ham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Davies, Udogie; Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso; Kulusevski, Son, Johnson.
