Kane back for Tottenham as West Ham bench Carroll

Harry Kane is back in the Tottenham starting line-up to face West Ham at Wembley in the Premier League.

England striker Kane wrapped up a sensation 2017 by breaking Alan Shearer's Premier League record for the most goals in a calendar year and outscored Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi over the 12-month period for club and country.

West Ham boss David Moyes also makes a trio of alterations, with Andy Carroll on the bench despite his match-winning brace against West Brom last time out.

Forward Marko Arnautovic and left-back Aaron Cresswell are sidelined by suspected hamstring and back complaints respectively.

Tottenham were 3-2 winners when the sides met at London Stadium earlier this season, with Kane scoring twice, but West Ham prevailed by the same scoreline at Wembley in an October EFL Cup tie.
