Tottenham go into this afternoon’s London derby against West Ham hoping to build on Thursday’s win against Bodo/Glimt.

The 3-1 victory over the Norwegians in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final was a huge result for Spurs and under-pressure boss Ange Postecoglou.

Bodo’s late consolation does mean, however, the tie is not over and Spurs will head north for Thursday’s return game needing to complete the job.

West Ham boss Graham Potter will empathise with Postecoglou having also felt the heat in recent weeks.

The Hammers have not won in seven league games and squandered a late advantage to lose 3-2 at Brighton last weekend.

Potter made two changes to the side that collapsed at the Amex with Niclas Fullkrug and Aaron Cresswell coming in.

Dinos Mavropanos and James Ward-Prowse drop to the bench.

West Ham: Areola, Cresswell, Todibo, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka, Emerson, Soucek, Bowen, Kudus, Paqueta, Fullkrug

Postecoglou rung the changes with just three players that started in midweek keeping their places in the starting XI.

Guglielmo Vicario, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison are included alongside a host of players that will hope to play their way into the reckoning for the trip to Norway.

Tottenham: Vicario, Danso, Davies, Spence, Gray, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Odobert, Tel, Richarlison
