Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Alvarez, Ward-Prowse; Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta; Bowen
Tottenham Hotspur is grappling with an extensive list of injuries, including key players like Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, Pape Matar Sarr, Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon, Ashley Phillips, and Alfie Whiteman. Furthermore, Eric Dier is uncertain for the upcoming match due to a muscle problem sustained in training, having missed the draw with Man City.
On a positive note, Cristian Romero is set to return after serving a three-match suspension and is expected to bolster the defense, likely replacing Emerson Royal. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo might refrain from making significant changes to the starting XI, with Richarlison available for selection after his return from groin surgery. However, the attacking quartet of Son, Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson, and Bryan Gil is anticipated to retain their positions.
West Ham, on the other hand, continues to miss Michail Antonio due to a knee injury, and the participation of defender Kurt Zouma is uncertain following a recent robbery at his family home. Jarrod Bowen's return against Crystal Palace provides a boost, and the prolific forward, having scored in all six top-flight away appearances this season, is expected to lead the line in Antonio's absence. Kudus, Tomas Soucek, and Lucas Paqueta are likely to provide support in the attacking third.
If Zouma is unavailable, former Arsenal player Mavropanos is poised to retain his place in central defense alongside Nayef Aguerd. Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse are anticipated to continue in the midfield engine room for West Ham. The clash between these two teams will be closely watched to see how the squads navigate through their injury challenges and tactical decisions.
