West Ham United vs. Tottenham: Lineups

It’s time for some Monday Night Fútbol as this week’s Premier League schedule wraps up with a London derby between Spurs and West Ham at Upton Park.

James Collins and Joey O'Brien both made it through fitness tests and will start for Sam Allardyce. No major surprises in the midfield and attack for the Irons with Andy Carroll up top, playing in front of Nolan, Jarvis and Cole.

No surprises from Andre Villas-Boas as he rolls out a first choice level lineup. The only major adjustment is Jan Vertonghen replacing Benoit Assou-Ekotto at the left back position. It's a tactical move likely designed to help with set piece defending to help offset some of West Ham's size up front.

West Ham United starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Jussi Jaaskelainen; Guy Demel, Winston Reid, James Collins, Joey O'Brien; Gary O'Neil, Mohamed Diamé; Carlton Cole, Kevin Nolan, Matt Jarvis; Andy Carroll.

Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Hugo Lloris; Kyle Walker, Michael Dawson, Steven Caulker, Jan Vertonghen; Scott Parker, Mousa Dembélé; Aaron Lennon, Gareth Bale, Lewis Holtby; Emmanuel Adebayor.
