football.london reporters pick their Tottenham starting XIs for Saturday's crunch London derby against West Ham when Conor Gallagher could well make his debut
Spurs are looking to cap a positive week off the pitch with a positive result on it when they host Premier League strugglers West Ham on Saturday.
Thomas Frank's ranks have already been bolstered by the arrival of new midfielder Conor Gallagher and the England international is in contention to start following his switch from Atletico Madrid.
While there is a chance Lucas Bergvall could return, key stars Richarlison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Mohammed Kudus will all miss the clash through injury.
football.london reporters Alasdair Gold, chief Tottenham correspondent, and Ryan Taylor have picked their Spurs XI to face the Hammers as Frank's men strive to pick up only their third top-flight home win of the season.

Alasdair Gold - Tottenham Hotspur correspondent
Conor Gallagher has played just about enough football in recent weeks at Atletico Madrid that he should be able to come straight into Frank's starting XI.
The team and crowd need his energy and the positive nature of his move, and he also can't play against Borussia Dortmund in midweek so will need the minutes.
As long as he hasn't succumbed to the Spurs injury curse as well as Rodrigo Bentancur then Joao Palhinha would be the experienced head to play alongside the new man.
Archie Gray will certainly get game time and Lucas Bergvall has been 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 Villa needing to start with Dominic Solanke hopefully playing a bigger role off the bench this time as he gets his fitness back.
Djed Spence could start at left-back until Destiny Udogie is deemed ready to get back into the action, which might come against Dortmund if Ben Davies doesn't get the nod after some impressive displays.
The Welshman probably deserves to start against West Ham on current performances.
Gold's Tottenham XI vs West Ham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Gallagher, Palhinha; Odobert, Xavi, Tel; Kolo Muani.

Guglielmo Vicario starts in goal with Cristian Romero returning from his ban at centre-back.
I'm tipping Pedro Porro, Romero, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence to make up the back four.
In midfield, I'm optimistic there will be a debut for Gallagher, who might even start alongside Joao Palhinha.
The front four virtually picks itself due to injuries but I'm going to go with Wilson Odobert on the right, Xavi Simons as the No.10 with Mathys Tel on the left.
Randal Kolo Muani will lead the line in the absence of Richarlison and there should also be some more minutes for Dominic Solanke as he continues to rebuild his fitness.
I'd feel for Archie Gray if he's dropped but he's played a fair bit of football recently.
Equally, I'd have no qualms with him starting in place of Palhinha as I think it's important that Gallagher is let loose as his arrival will definitely lift the place.
