West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has handed Ghana deputy captain Andre Ayew a starting role for their Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane later today.
Spanish goalkeeper Adrian has been dropped to the bench, with Darren Randolph starting in goal for the Hammers and Cheikhou Kouyate and Pedro Obiang will provide strength in midfield with Dimitri Payet providing creativity for the forwards up top.
Bilic has fielded an attacking line-up with Ayew, Diafra Sakho and Michail Antonio all starting the game and the West Ham boss also has the option of using summer signing Simone Zaza if required at some point in the game.
With just a point separating them from the relegation zone, the Hammers are desperate for points as they look to rebuild their campaign after a disastrous start.
