West Ham will be hoping to claim their first home win over Spurs since 2021, and they may have to rely on some debutants to help them see out the match.
Igor Julio and Soungoutou Magassa could make debuts for West Ham
West Ham signed Igor on deadline day, with the defender joining on a loan spell from Brighton.
Igor already has a lot of Premier League experience and is motivated to finally get some consistent minutes at West Ham, something he was unable to achieve at his parent club.
Magassa is more likely to start, following the criticism of Guido Rodriguez in the last year.
The young French midfielder is an imposing figure who is extremely athletic and willing to break up play and release creative outlets into the final third of the pitch.
Alongside Callum Wilson, who is expected to make his first Premier League start for West Ham, these two new additions could prove decisive in the match against Tottenham.
