Tottenham Hotspur faces West Ham United today, looking to end their winless streak in 2026.
They also plan to include new signing Conor Gallagher in the starting lineup right away. Manager Thomas Frank’s team has had a challenging week, but club leaders have shown support for him despite early cup exits. Gallagher’s arrival from Atletico Madrid emphasizes the club’s ambition, and his presence will enhance the squad’s leadership and effort, especially with several players sidelined by injury.
Tottenham Team News
Frank deals with a “thin” squad due to numerous injuries. Richarlison is out for seven weeks with a hamstring injury from a match against Aston Villa. He joins James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Mohammed Kudus on the injury list, leaving Tottenham with limited attacking options.
As a result, Gallagher will debut in the number 10 position, supported by Xavi Simons and Mathys Tel on the wings. Cristian Romero returns to defense after his suspension, and Yves Bissouma is back in midfield post-AFCON. Randal Kolo Muani will lead the attack as the club looks for Richarlison’s replacement.
Tottenham Predicted Lineup
Expected Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Gray, Palhinha; Simons, Gallagher, Tel; Kolo Muani
