West Ham XI vs Tottenham: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, latest injuries for Premier League derby

West Ham head to Tottenham for a London derby tonight needing to replicate their performance from last season at the same venue in order to spark some life into their survival bid.

Having resumed their campaign with defeat by Wolves on Saturday, a match in which they were solid at the back until the introduction of Adama Traore but lacked cutting edge going forward, the Hammers remain above the bottom three on goal difference only.

David Moyes opted to start Jeremy Ngakia on Saturday after stating that the youngster was fitter than Ryan Fredericks, but may turn back to his first-choice right-sided defender with Ngakia's future still in doubt.

Angelo Obgonna returned to training this week, though Declan Rice looked assured in defence against Wolves and could continue there in order not to rush the Italian back from a hamstring injury.

Key striker Sebastien Haller is yet to recover from a hip problem, meaning Moyes will want to see more from Jarrod Bowen and Felipe Anderson out wide when it comes to supporting Michail Antonio in the final third.
