West Ham lineup vs. Tottenham: Predicted XI for Premier League London derby

Antonio out to match Giggs record: How West Ham could line up against Spurs

West Ham United could win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time this season when they head to Tottenham Hotspur for Saturday's lunchtime London derby.

The Irons snapped a five-game winless run with a 4-1 trouncing of Ipswich Town before the international break, where Michail Antonio scored West Ham's quickest Premier League goal on record after just 48 seconds.

The Jamaican is guaranteed to start up front at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Niclas Fullkrug is still battling an Achilles problem, and he has been a perennial tormentor of Spurs down the years.

Indeed, Antonio has scored six goals against Tottenham in the past - his best record against a single opponent in the Premier League - and five of those strikes have been the opening goal.

Only Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs (six) has scored more opening goals against Tottenham in the Premier League, and Antonio should spearhead an offensive quartet also comprising Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus.

Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez ought to link arms in the deeper midfield slots, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman and Emerson Palmieri will be tasked with protecting Alphonse Areola.

West Ham United possible starting lineup: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Rodriguez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio
