Tottenham lineup vs. West Ham: Predicted XI for Premier League London derby

Will the Son come back out? Spurs predicted XI against West Ham

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min should make his return to action in Saturday's Premier League London derby with West Ham United.

The South Korea international has missed his side's last three matches due to a thigh issue and had to pull out of the South Korea squad for the October break, but he has now had two uninterrupted weeks to get back up to speed.

As a result, Son will likely be given the green light to start in the lunchtime kickoff, while Richarlison and Lucas Bergvall are also in contention, but Wilson Odobert (hamstring) is still unavailable.

Timo Werner may have provided an assist for James Maddison against Brighton & Hove Albion before Tottenham's horrendous collapse in a 3-2 loss, but the German - who just cannot find his shooting boots - will certainly make way for a fit-again Son.

The Tottenham skipper will join Dominic Solanke and the irrepressible Brennan Johnson in attack, as the latter aims to score for the seventh match in a row for the Lilywhites after also netting for Wales against Iceland earlier this month.

In spite of his side's catastrophic collapse at Brighton, Ange Postecoglou should stick with the midfield trident of Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, the former of whom has played more passes into the penalty area than any other Premier League player this season (64).

The Spurs boss is also expected to keep faith with his tried-and-tested backline of Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro in front of Guglielmo Vicario.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
