Match West Ham United VS Tottenham Hotspur - Wednesday 31th August, London Stadium 19:45

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

[FORMATION=343, Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison][/FORMATION]

Bench: Forster, Spence, Doherty, Romero, Lenglet, Perisic, Sarr, Skipp, Son

Injured: Bentancur, Gil, Lucas
Not Selected: Austin, White, Tanganga

Obviously bit of a guessing game as to who will be fit from Romero/Bentancur/Gil/Lucas/Skipp but from what Conte has said I'd go with this. Don't think we'll through Romero straight in after one session with another game in a couple days and Sanchez has been good when he's played. Would be tempted to take out Emerson but don't want to make too many changes, doubt Perisic will play many midweek minutes this year and freshen up the front line considering Richie and Sonny's form.
 
Like Chelsea, I fully expect them to play better than they have this season, this is their cup final.

But this is also the weakest they've been in a couple of years, anything less than 3 points for us is unacceptable.
 
I think Conte will make as few changes as possible. Perisic to start and get subbed after an hour. Romero back in. Maybe Bissouma in for Bentancur if he's out. Son will start again I think.

Then I think Richarlison and Bissouma will start v Fulham.
 
This is their cup final. Heard dier say we need to play better. Think we will win this one 2-1. Need to be vigilant on their set pieces and corners. Have a feeling Son might open his account for this one.

Bloody Vikings
 
We know Richarlison is starting and Bentancur is out per Conte so I assume Bissouma will start.

Lloris - no doubt will start
CB - Keep the back 3 as they are. Romero can come in over the weekend and maybe Lenglet if he’s fit.
RWB - Doherty. Emerson needs a break but I don’t think Conte is ready to start Spence. Hopefully I’m wrong.
LWB - Sessegnon. Seems like an easy rotation going on.
CM - Hojbjerg and Bissouma
LW - Kulu
ST - Kane
RW - Richie

Bench options: Son, Sarr, Emerson, Perisic, Lucas if healthy.

No we don't. Conte said that he will make his full debut in the "next games", not necessarily the next game. Maybe (hopefully) it will be Spam, but I think more likely Fulham.
 
I wouldn't risk Romero just yet. Other than that, Richarlison has done enough to start (he did so against Chelsea and Wolves), however, Conte has said that he will start the next games, but not specifically West Ham, and since Bentancur is injured, Bissouma has to start.
We should go into this game with full intensity. It's their Cup Final, and they're in a bit of a mess now, so if we get a goal early they'll shit their pants and open themselves up.


Lloris
Sanchez - Dier - Davies
Emerson - Bissouma - Hojbjerg - Perisic
Kulusevski - Kane - Richarlison


3-1 Tottenham.
