Tottenham Hotspur are looking in red-hot form this season in the Premier League and are looking to making it another memorable term for them, this time by clinching the coveted title. They were very close the last term as well, only to find Chelsea toppling them to claim the supreme prize.
They will face a different challenge when they face West Ham United in the Carabao Cup this week. However, the North London club do not want to take the game lightly and will try their level best to win the contest against the Hammers.
Spurs have made it clear from their last few matches in the Premier League as well as Champions League that they have chosen attack as their primary option to win matches this season. They might not deviate from that motive in their next match as well against a West Ham United side, who are currently not in a very good situation in the Premier League table.
Tottenham might be lining up in the following way in their next match.
Defence
The three-man defensive line has brought Spurs rich dividends so far this season and they might look to stick to it in this match as well. With their duo of Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld fit and looking to team up with newcomer Juan Foyth, their immediate opponents might find it difficult to get past them.
Michel Vorm might start for them beneath the crossbars.
Midfield
The midfield has looked very strong so far this season with players like Eric Dier and Harry Winks fighting with the opponents to keep possession of the ball as much as possible and helping their teammates by delivering crisp passes. They are set to be supported by wing backs Kyle Walker-Peters and Kieran Trippier. Ben Davies might be rested for the match.
Attack
It is quite unlikely that their talismanic striker Harry Kane will be playing in their next match, making way for their new signing Fernando Llorente to lead the line. The Spaniard will have to play a crucial role in the match and score goals to build some confidence at his new club.
Dele Alli and Heung Min Son are expected to start in the attack, while Christian Eriksen might not be included in the starting lineup. It will be a challenge for them to get past the West Ham defenders in this cup tie. This is how they might line up:
