West Ham United visits Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today, aiming to break a 10-match winless streak in the league and escape the relegation zone.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s team is in a crucial part of the season, currently in 18th place and seven points from safety. Despite ongoing questions about his position, Nuno has received support from the board, with over £50m spent on January signings and the addition of experienced coach Paco Jémez to his staff. A win in this London derby could significantly boost their chances of staying in the league.
West Ham Team News
Nuno is dealing with injury concerns and international absences. Lucas Paquetá is a major worry; he has a back issue and missed training this week amid transfer rumors. Konstantinos Mavropanos is out with a neck injury, and El Hadji Malick Diouf is unavailable as he competes in the AFCON final with Senegal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to start at right-back after recovering from injury. Taty Castellanos, who scored in the FA Cup against QPR, is likely to lead the attack, while January signing Pablo Felipe may play in an advanced midfield role if Paquetá is not fit. Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville will provide width as West Ham look to challenge a Spurs defense that has struggled to keep clean sheets under Thomas Frank.
West Ham Predicted Lineup
West Ham United predicted XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Scarles; Magassa, Souček; Bowen, Pablo, Summerville; Castellanos
