With Tottenham Hotspur out of the Europa Conference League, the Carabao Cup represents a solid chance for Antonio Conte to seal a piece of silverware at the club.

Later this evening, his side hosts Premier League rivals West Ham United in the quarter-finals of the competition with a place in the final four at stake.

Spurs head into kick-off on the back of a 2-2 draw with ten-man Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, whilst the Hammers' game with Norwich City was postponed, so they've had to wait a week since they last played.

It will be interesting to see what sort of side the Italian head coach will put out in terms of team selection, so here is the starting lineup we are predicting tonight...

Predicted-Spurs-XI-vs-West-Ham

There could be as many as three changes from the weekend.

Hugo Lloris is expected to remain between the sticks, despite loan summer signing Pierluigi Gollini often taking the gloves in Spurs' cup competitions. They are now at the stage where regular starters are needed.

A back three of Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez should also continue from the weekend, especially with Cristian Romero still out through injury.

Conte will be forced into at least one change after Ryan Sessegnon picked up a muscular injury on Sunday, so we could see the £36m-rated Sergio Reguilon return to the starting XI on the left, with Emerson Royal on the right.

In midfield, there is a chance that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg makes a return but Conte may want to keep him fresher for the remainder of the festive period. Instead, Harry Winks could keep his place, only this time he is joined by Oliver Skipp.

That means Tanguy Ndombele makes way, whilst Dele Alli is another casualty from the draw here at the weekend.

Lucas Moura could, therefore, rejoin Heung-min Son and Harry Kane in the attack.
