Tottenham Hotspur faces a major rival for European places on Sunday as Spurs go across London to face West Ham, here is the XI Nuno Espirito Santo is going to start.

If the Tottenham Hotspur second string had a chance to play their way into more Premier League minutes; few really did much to make a case. However, Nuno Santo does have some choices, even if no real decisions to make.

Tottenham Projected Attack

Spurs are going to stick with what has been working with the first team, having three players more or less committed to the offensive side of the game.

Son Heung-Min – Left forward

Son Heung-Min was one of many players sorely missed on Thursday for Tottenham. Son has been Spurs’ most consistent and best attacker thus far this season. It looked like his partnership with Harry Kane was starting to heat back up a week ago against Newcastle and Spurs will have to be hoping for the same versus the Hammers.

Harry Kane – Center forward

Harry Kane has not quite hit his stride for Tottenham this campaign. Kane has seven goals in all competitions but his lack of goals in the Premier League is what has some people concerned. Having scored a week prior against Newcastle to break his duck and having had his first real rest in some time, Kane should be ready to hit the ground running at Olympic Stadium on Sunday.

Lucas Moura – Right forward

Steven Bergwijn had an opportunity to force his way back into the starting line-up on Thursday but did not really do anything to convince anyone that Moura should be sat down. Lucas had a beautiful pass to Harry Kane to pre–assist Son’s goal. Lucas needs to find the ball in space and run at West Ham to get defenders to commit and create opportunities for others.
