West Ham United
Tomas Soucek's recovery from a long-term ankle injury is gathering pace. He played 65 minutes and scored in a friendly against Wycombe Wanderers during the international break, his first match action since picking up the injury. He is doing well but remains doubtful and is not expected to start here. Keiber Lamadrid remains sidelined as he continues his recovery, and Mohamadou Kanté begins a one-match ban after his red card against Millwall.
Kyle Walker-Peters is expected to keep the right-back shirt; he has been taken off before the hour mark in each of his three starts in the last five games. Joël Veltman is available again after returning from his own spell on the sidelines, giving Espírito Santo another option in that position. Morato is expected to continue at left-back ahead of Oliver Scarles. Further forward, Jarrod Bowen has been West Ham's most productive attacker over the last five games, with four goals and two assists, while Divine Mukasa is expected to keep his place in central midfield after contributing two goals of his own in that period.
