Lucas Paqueta is on the bench for West Ham against Spurs tonight.

The Brazilian was signed in a club record deal earlier this week and has received the clearance needed to play.

His fitness means that he only make the bench but he could well make his Irons debut this evening against Antonio Conte’s side.

Elsewhere, Thilo Kehrer plays at centre back, with summer signings Emerson and Maxwel Cornet both on the bench. Gianluca Scamacca is not in the squad.

Lukasz Fabianski starts in goal: Vlad Coufal, Kehrer, Kurt Zouma and Aaron Cresswell play in defence; Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek are partnered in midfield and Jarrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma provide support to Mikey Antonio.

Full West Ham team: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma; Antonio. Subs: Areola, Randolph, Ogbonna, Coventry, Emerson, Downes, Lanzini, Paqueta, Cornet.

Spurs team: Lloris; Royal, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Perisic; Bissouma, Hojbjerg; Kulusevski, Kane, Son. Subs: Forster, Lenglet, Tanganga, Spence, Sessegnon, Doherty, Skipp, Sarr, Richarlison.
