The Hammers are without a win in seven Premier League matches but will be hoping to take advantage of a potentially distracted Spurs side, with Ange Postecoglou expected to have one eye on their Europa League second leg against Bodo/Glimt.

Fullkrug started on the bench for West Ham in last weekend’s defeat against Brighton but was brought on at half-time as Potter reshuffled the shape, and the German striker could be involved from the off here.

Evan Ferguson is also available for the hosts, having been ineligible to face his parent club last time out, and takes his place on the bench.

As predicted, James Ward-Prowse drops out with Jarrod Bowen and Mohamed Kudus moving into wider roles either side of the forward.

Edson Alvarez remains out and the Hammers have ruled Crysencio Summerville for the rest of the season.

West Ham XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Cresswell, Emerson; Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus; Fullkrug

Subs: Fabianski, Coufal, Mavropanos, Soler, Ward-Prowse, Rodríguez, Guilherme, Ings, Ferguson

Tottenham XI: Vicario; Gray, Danso, Davies, Spence; Sarr, Bissouma; Odobert, Kulusevski, Tel; Richarlison

Subs: Kinsky, Porro, Udogie, Romero, Van de Ven, Bentancur, Ajayi, Moore, Johnson
