Harry Kane has returned to the starting line-up to play West Ham having been used off the bench in Tottenham’s previous outing.

The Premier League’s top scorer had been struggling with illness over New Year and only played 22 minutes of the 2-0 win over Swansea on Tuesday. However it was still enough time for him to set up Dele Alli’s late goal.

He’s now back in the starting XI for tonight’s game at Wembley.

It’s one of three changes from Mauricio Pochettino, with Moussa Sissoko replacing Erik Lamela and Serge Aurier coming in for Kieran Trippier.

West Ham manager David Moyes will be hoping his side can record back-to-back wins after their victory over West Brom earlier this week.

Andy Carroll, who scored both West Ham goals in that win, drops to the bench amid concerns about his fitness.

There is no Marko Arnautovic in the squad in a blow to the Hammers, with the forward struggling with a hamstring problem.

The match kicks off at 8pm.
