Ange Postecoglou is likely to wrap key Tottenham players in cotton wool when Spurs travel to West Ham ahead of the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Bodo/Glimt. James Maddison (knee) and Dominic Solanke (thigh) both suffered injuries in the 3-1 first leg win in north London and will not be risked.

West Ham and Spurs have little more than wounded pride on the line in this London derby after dreadful Premier League seasons.

There is every chance of an all-English final after Spurs’ 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt in the other Europa League semi-final. Ange Postecoglou’s side are at West Ham today; they will drop to 17th in the table if they lose.
