Antonio starts for West Ham as Reguilón returns to Spurs line-up

Michail Antonio (£6.6m) returns to the West Ham line-up as they host Spurs in Double Gameweek 25.

The forward missed the most recent Premier League outing, a 3-0 win over Sheffield United, with fatigue but is looks to be back to full fitness.

Antonio leads the line in today’s London derby with Jesse Lingard (£5.9m), Pablo Fornals (£5.9m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.0m) in attacking midfield.

With Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) and Declan Rice (£4.7m) in defensive midfield, the only other notable piece of team news is a second successive start at centre-back for Issa Diop (£4.3m).

He continues to fill in with Angelo Ogbonna (£4.9m) recently sustaining an ankle injury.

There will be plenty of attention on the Spurs team today too.

Harry Kane (£11.1m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) will both be under the Fantasy microscope for those considering how to set their teams up for Double Gameweek 26.

Spurs face Burnley (home) and Fulham (away) in the next round, offering one of the kindest Double Gameweek schedules.

Elsewhere, Japhet Tanganga (£4.9m) retains his right-back berth and there is a surprise return at left-back for Sergio Reguilón (£5.5m).

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Dawson, Coufal; Rice, Soucek; Lingard, Fornals, Bowen; Antonio.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Reguilon, Dier, Sanchez, Tanganga; Højbjerg, Ndombele; Son, Lamela, Moura; Kane.

    Will watch MOTD later but how’s Kane looking? Almost thinking Bruno (c) might be better for DGW?

      Spurs looked terrible. Would maybe still captain him next week but wouldn't spunk a TC on him.

      Honestly wouldn't bother. Like a cart horse at the minute. I was minded to triple captain him but feel like transferring him out at the minute.

    Moving Antonio to my starting XI and benching Grealish has been one of my best last minute decisions this season!

      Good signings. More time to tailor the team to his liking.

      Soucek was there from last season already, but he's had more time to build a better partnership with Rice (and Noble is playing less).

      Coufal has come in and been massive for them. Cresswell having one of his best seasons on the other side.

      Ogbonna has been in great form, and they also made a good signing in Dawson albeit introduced late.

      Even when players such as Bowen/Lanzini etc peter off, they also brought in other options (Benrahma & now Lingard).

      Moyes has managed the squad really well. FWD the only area of concern.
