TOTTENHAM
 Lloris Walker, Caulker, Dawson, Vertonghen Dembele, Sandro Lennon, Dempsey, Bale Defoe |
WEST HAM
 Jaaskelainen O’Brien, Reid, Tomkins, McCartney Noble, Nolan, O’Neil, Maiga Diame Carroll |
After his red card against Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor begins his three-match suspension and will probably be replaced up front by Jermain Defoe.
Following a superb man-of-the-match display against Lazio in the Europa League, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris should keep his place in goal ahead of Brad Friedel.
Mousa Dembele made his return from injury during the Europa League tie so could well feature from the off, while Scott Parker returned to light training earlier in the week. Otherwise, Spurs have no new injury concerns, so should have a strong squad to choose from.
Hammers midfielder Yossi Benayoun (knee) remains a doubt for this game, but he could be fit enough to make the bench.
After impressing on the left against Stoke, Modibo Maiga will be hopeful of keeping his place, as will Gary O’Neil.
Otherwise, West Ham have no new concerns, with Matt Jarvis (hip) also nearing a return to first-team action.

Since arriving from Fulham in the summer, Mousa Dembele has made a crucial difference in the centre of the Spurs midfield and will need to do similar work against the Hammers. His absence with injury has been noticeable, but with his sharpness beginning to return the Belgian will hope to pick up where he left off.
| Mark Noble | |
| Position: | Midfielder |
| Squad Number: | 16 |
| Games | Goals | YC | RC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | 4 | 7 | 0 |
For the Hammers, Mark Noble has been in impressive form this season and will need to be close to his best to overcome his counterparts in the home side. Noble has made one of the highest number of tackles in the Premier League this season and has another key role to play as he looks to play well defensively while feeding the ball forward to his team-mates.
West Ham are flying high in the Premier League and could cause a few problems for Tottenham’s defence. However, the home side’s attacking players should be more than enough for the Hammers, especially if Gareth Bale hits form on the left.
