Graham Potter’s West Ham lost 1-0 to Brentford last weekend, meaning the former Chelsea and Brighton manager has won just one of his opening six games in charge of the Hammers.

As such, the Irons sit 16th in the Premier League table and need to raise morale between now and the end of the season. While relegation seems unthinkable right now, more poor form could leave Potter’s side vulnerable.

Lucas Paqueta is a doubt after suffering an ankle injury in training, which will perhaps bring Evan Ferguson in from the start after the Republic of Ireland international came off the bench for the second-half against Brentford.

Crysencio Summerville is facing a few weeks out of action with a hamstring injury, while Vladimir Coufal is expected to miss out.

Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio are long-term absentees.
