West Ham United

With attackers Lucas Paqueta, Niclas Fullkrug, Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville ruled out, Graham Potter may go with a front pairing of Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen for Monday's welcome of Newcastle.
Vladimir Coufal is also missing, though wouldn't have started with Aaron Wan-Bissaka impressing down the right.
Potter may opt for an unchanged XI, using a three-man backline once more in the process.
Newcastle United

Anthony Gordon is suspended for Newcastle after his needless red card against Brighton in the FA Cup last weekend.
The Magpies have also been dealt a blow with Lewis Hall out for the rest of the season, while Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are also absent.
Joelinton may start on the left flank in the absence of Gordon, while Harvey Barnes, Lewis Miley and Joe Willock are also pushing for starts here.
Eddie Howe is unlikely to make wholesale changes even with the EFL Cup final looming.
