This is a Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup for their Premier League clash with London rivals West Ham. The league is basically just an exercise in avoiding embarrassment for both sides now but the Lilywhites at least have the Europa League to play for. They will be hoping to get a win here just to get some momentum going to end the campaign before the presumed final against Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup vs West Ham in Premier League Tie
How Tottenham Hotspur Have Lined Up Recently
Guglielmo Vicario is the main man in goal for the team and starts whenever he’s available. Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are the first-choice centre-back partnership with Kavin Danso and Ben Davies offering some rotation. Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence are the main full back options now with Pedro Porro as the other option.

In midfield, there’s been a number of players used, including Pape Sarr, Rodrigo Bentacur, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Lucas Bergval, and Archie Gray. The trio in the middle has been chopped up too much for anyone to settle.
Up front, there’s a mix of Brennan Johnson, Mathys Tel, Dom Solanke, Richarlison, and Wilson Odobert. Although this has been a more settles area than the midfield with Johnson, Tel, Solanke being the main lineup in the past few outings.
Tottenham Recent Form & Tactics
Ange Postecoglou has used a 4-3-3 setup religiously regardless of availability and fit. His system aims to press high and squeeze the pitch while surging forward when on the ball, it is a high-risk, high-reward style of play that often leaves the defence exposed due to the absurdly high line they tend to play. When it works, it works well, but when it doesn’t, it falls apart.

Recent form has been proof positive on that front with a 5-1 embarrassment against Liverpool and a 4-2 loss to high-flying Wolves being mixed in with a strong win over Bodo/Glimt and a hard-fought 1-0 result against Eintracht Frankfurt. The Premier League has been the big problem with the Lilywhites only claiming one win in the competition in their last eight fixtures.
Tottenham Injuries to Consider
According to PremierInjuries, there are a number of absentees, and possibly key absentees. Radu Dragusin is sidelined long term, Bergvall is shut down for the season, Heung-min Son is likely to be saved for the Europa League, while the pair of Maddison and Solanke are fresh problems without much certainty.
