How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against West Ham United

How Tottenham could line up against West Ham

Tottenham Hotspur could have Cristian Romero back in their starting side for Wednesday's Premier League clash with West Ham United at London Stadium.

The central defender has missed the team's last two games against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest through injury, but he is back in training ahead of this fixture and could feature.

Oliver Skipp, meanwhile, is also back in training, having recovered from a foot injury, with the midfielder also potentially being involved in the squad for the derby match.

Lucas Moura will definitely be unavailable due to a tendon injury, though, and Bryan Gil is also out of the match.

Richarlison is pushing for a spot in the starting side due to some impressive performances off the bench.

However, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski are again expected to support Harry Kane, who scored both of his side's goals in their win at Forest on Sunday afternoon.

Yves Bissouma is also expected to again be among the substitutes, with Rodrigo Bentancur set to continue alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield.

Romero, providing that he proves his fitness, could come into the back three alongside Eric Dier and Ben Davies, with Davinson Sanchez potentially dropping down to the bench for the away team.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
