Tottenham
Spurs fans are waiting with bated breath to hear whether captain Son Heung-min will shake off a thigh issue in time for the visit of West Ham; the South Korea captain was called up to his country's squad for their World Cup 2026 qualifiers before dropping out.
Son is one of three hopefuls for the London derby alongside Richarlison and Lucas Bergvall, who suffered a minor calf injury on Sweden duty but would not have been expected to start on Saturday either way, but Wilson Odobert (hamstring) remains unavailable.
In spite of their atrocious second half at the Amex two weekends ago, Spurs should field a near-identical starting XI, although Timo Werner will almost certainly make way if Son is given the thumbs-up from the medical team.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
West Ham
West Ham's solitary selection concern also lies in attack, as summer signing Niclas Fullkrug is still nursing an Achilles problem and was unavailable to Germany over the international period, rendering him doubtful for the weekend too.
However, Lopetegui will surely be loath to alter a winning formula, as Antonio endeavours to haunt Tottenham once more; the Jamaica international has scored six times against Spurs, his best record against a single opponent.
Antonio's first-minute strike against Ipswich was assisted by Bowen, who in that game became the first West Ham player to have five shots and create five chances in one Premier League match since Antonio himself in March 2021, against Spurs' North London rivals Arsenal.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Rodriguez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 West Ham United
