Tottenham will be making the short trip to the London Stadium on Saturday to take on West Ham, but they will have to do so with a heavily depleted squad thanks to a number of injuries.

According to Premier Injuries, the Lilywhites have seven players who are either ruled out or are a doubt for the fixture, and five of these could be considered as first-team regulars.

In terms of attacking players, Dele Alli has been ruled out of the tie already and Christian Eriksen has a 50 per cent chance of playing, meaning that Pochettino has limited options to try and unlock the Hammers’ defence.

For this reason, the Argentine boss must be brave and start Erik Lamela over Moussa Sissoko if he goes with the same 4-4-2 formation that he used in the 1-0 win over Cardiff. Both have been slightly disappointing throughout their Tottenham careers, but 26-year-old Lamela is far better going forward than the Frenchman.

Sissoko may offer better defensive protection than Lamela, who is valued at £18m by Transfermarkt, but Tottenham will need that creativity and must start on the front-foot.
