Premiership: Thatcher on standby for Spurs

Mauricio Taricco is Tottenham’s only injury worry ahead of tomorrow’s trip to West Ham as he bids to shake off an ankle injury.

The Argentine full-back is likely to be replaced by Ben Thatcher if he fails to play.

This is Tottenham’s second of three consecutive London derbies. They played Arsenal last Saturday and face Fulham in the Worthington Cup next Thursday.

Team (from): Sullivan; Taricco, Perry, King, Richards, Ziege, Poyet, Freund, Anderton, Ferdinand, Sheringham, Thatcher, Rebrov, Bunjevcevic, Davies, Kamanan, Leonhardsen, Thelwell, Beasant.
