Tottenham will look to lift the mood around their camp when they host West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs were beaten by AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie, having been embarrassed 4-1 the weekend prior.

A number of key players are sidelined with significant injuries, while Antonio Conte will also be missing from the dugout as he remained in Italy to fully recover from his gallbladder surgery.

In his stead, assistant manager Cristian Stellini will take charge again. Here's the team he could preside over on Sunday afternoon.

GK: Fraser Forster - Made every attempt to keep out Diaz's strike for Milan, but didn't get much help from his defenders. Had little else to do.

CB: Cristian Romero - Came back into the team in midweek, having been suspended against Leicester following his late red card against Manchester City.

CB: Eric Dier - Is out of the second Milan leg through suspension so will continue to feature in domestic competitions.

CB: Ben Davies - Clement Lenglet was slightly wasteful in possession and may be rotated out for natural alternative Davies.

RWB: Pedro Porro - Had a bit of a horror show on debut against Leicester. Did show some of his attacking potential in brief patches.

CM: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Missed the Milan game through suspension, having been booked on the final group matchday at Marseille when he struck the winner. Has more responsibility with both Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma sidelined with injuries.

CM: Pape Matar Sarr - Thrown in at the deep end at San Siro and stood up to the task. Has shown promise and should get a good run in the team.

LWB: Ivan Perisic - Hasn't offered much creativity out wide in recent games but will likely start again with Ryan Sessegnon injured.

RW: Dejan Kulusevski - Yet to truly fire since since the World Cup. When on form, the Swede is Tottenham's most creative outlet.

ST: Harry Kane - Won plenty of fouls but only took one shot on Tuesday night, having previously netted match-winning strikes against Fulham and Man City.

LW: Richarlison - There will come a point when Son Heung-min needs to be taken out of the spotlight and Richarlison offered an opportunity. Spurs could really do with his tenacity off the ball.
