Tottenham confirmed team vs West Ham - Conor Gallagher starts, Joao Palhinha out, Bissouma on bench

Here is the Tottenham team that Thomas Frank has selected to face West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday

Thomas Frank has made three changes to his Tottenham Hotspur team to face West Ham in Saturday's Premier League London derby.

Both clubs need the points and Frank has a new player to call upon in Conor Gallagher after his £34.7million move from Atletico Madrid and the 25-year-old comes straight into the starting XI. Gallagher's arrival is well timed after Spurs lost Rodrigo Bentancur for three months following hamstring surgery.

Joao Palhinha could not be seen in training footage from recent days and the Portuguese is not in the squad with Archie Gray partnering Gallagher. Lucas Bergvall has been back in training after returning from injury so should also feature during the encounter.

The team's attack pretty much picks itself because of injuries, with all four front men who played in the second half of the defeat to Aston Villa starting with Dominic Solanke aiming a bigger role off the bench this time as he gets his fitness back.

Ben Davies starts on the left of the defence with Cristian Romero back from suspension in the centre of defence. Yves Bissouma is on the bench for Tottenham hoping for his first minutes of the season.

Here's the team Frank has selected to face the Hammers:

Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Gallagher, Gray; Odobert, Xavi, Tel; Kolo Muani. Subs: Kinsky, Dragusin, Danso, Spence, Udogie, Bissouma, Bergvall, Solanke, Scarlett.
