Predicted Tottenham side to face West Ham: Dele Alli returns

Jose Mourinho has stated that for the first time since taking over at Tottenham Hotspur, he has all of his attacking talents available for selection as Spurs prepare to take on West Ham United on Tuesday night.

Spurs come into the clash after a decent performance during a 1-1 draw with Manchester United, which saw January recruit Steven Bergwijn net his third goal in Spurs colours – only for Bruno Fernandes to score a late penalty.

Tottenham welcome back Lucas Moura from a facial injury while Dele Alli’s one-match ban has been fulfilled. Gio Lo Celso made a substitute appearance against United, but impressed during his brief stint.

Spurs do remain without Troy Parrott, who is recovering from an appendix operation. Defenders Juan Foyth and Japhet Tanganga are also sidelined and will miss the clash against bitter rivals West Ham.

But having watched his side, Mourinho could make some minor tweaks to his side. £27million ace (BBC) Lo Celso’s performance will surely convince Mourinho to bring the Argentine back into the side – potentially in place of Harry Winks.

In attack, Erik Lamela may have to deputise to include Alli in the side – along with Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Bergwijn. Two changes from the draw against Manchester United, then.

Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Ben Davies; Gio Lo Celso, Moussa Sissoko; Steven Bergwijn, Dele Alli, Son Heung-min; Harry Kane.
