Slaven Bilic’s side have lost just one of their last nine league games, taking eighteen points in that run, and like Spurs are seven points behind the top four.

Dmitri Payet and Enner Valenica both miss out with ankle injuries, though Diafra Sakho and Alex Song may be fit enough to feature and Michali Antonio could make his first start for the club.

Mauro Zarate is 13.0 (12/1) to get the first goal of the game, while Manuel Lanzini can be backed at 15.0 (14/1) with Stan James.
