Michail Antonio starts today in the London Stadium mid-day game against Spurs after recovering from a tight hamstring.

The 30-year-old striker is one of two changes made by David Moyes today with Pablo Fornals being the other starter.

Darren Randolph and Fabian Balbuena both passed late fitness tests and have been included on the bench after recovering from knocks.

Ben Johnson and Manuel Lanzini drop to the bench despite their inclusion in the three-nil win over Sheffield United proving the manager does sometimes change a winning team.

Ryan Fredericks has suffered a small knock which is why there are two keepers on the bench, it is nothing serious and he will be back next week for the Man City game.

There is no starting place for Said Benrahama today for the second game running but he is available on the bench and deemed to be fit.

The West Ham United starting lineup most likely in a 4-2-3-1 formation consists of Fabianksi, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Bowen, Lingard, Antonio.

On the bench is Randolph, Martin, Johnson, Balbeuena, Alves, Noble, Lanzini, Benrahma, Odubeko
