Tottenham (Possible, Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Caulker, Naughton; Lennon, Parker, Dembélé, Bale; Holtby; Adebayor.Out: Defoe (ankle), Kaboul, Santos, Huddlestone (all knee).

Team NewsWest Ham manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed both James Collins and Joey O'Brien have been training this week and are in contention for the Premier League game with Tottenham on Monday.

Collins has been missing due to a hamstring problem whilst fellow defender O'Brien was sidelined with a thigh injury but both are now part of Allardyce's squad for the London derby against Spurs.

Meanwhile, Hugo Lloris is expected to return in goal for Tottenham after being on the bench for Thursday's Europa League draw at Lyon.

Striker Jermain Defoe returns to training next week, but he will not be considered for the match against his former club.

But while Spurs have been on Europa League business in the past two weeks, their opponents jetted out to a warm-weather training camp in Dubai.

A West Ham refreshed and motivated to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Bobby Moore's death should see them deny Champions League-chasing Tottenham and one-man goal machine Gareth Bale maximum points.
