Tottenham team news: Predicted Carabao Cup line up vs West Ham – Dele Alli IN, Kane OUT
TOTTENHAM face West Ham in the Carabao Cup fourth round tonight – who could start?
Tottenham will make the short trip across London for tonight's Carabao Cup encounter with West Ham at the London Stadium.
Spurs are set to welcome back Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen to the starting XI after coming through substitute appearances against Manchester City unscathed.
The midfield duo will slot into attacking roles as Mauricio Pochettino aims for his first trophy in his management career.
However, despite Tottenham's desperation for a trophy, Harry Kane is likely to be benched for the trip to East London.
The England international will be managed carefully throughout 2018/19 to avoid burning out.
Harry Winks is likely to start after impressing during a substitute appearance in the 1-0 defeat against City.
Mousa Sissoko also shone at Wembley despite the result, though he is set to be rested with Victor Wanyama coming into the side.
Eric Dier could drop into the defence alongside Toby Alderweireld, with Kyle Walker-Peters likely to start at left-back to give Ben Davies a break.
Danny Rose is closing in on a comeback, but it could be one game too soon for him to return.
Paulo Gazzaniga could be drafted in to replace Hugo Lloris between the sticks after a strong spell filling in for the Frenchman while he was injured.
Youngsters Oliver Skipp and Troy Parrott could be included on the bench and will hope to receive game time.
Predicted Tottenham team vs West Ham
(4-2-3-1) Gazzaniga; Aurier, Dier, Foyth, Walker-Peters; Wanyama, Winks; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Llorente.
