Michail Antonio will lead the line for West Ham against West Brom.

The 30-year-old faces his third game in eight days, despite only just returning from a hamstring injury, as he is the club’s only recognised forward.

Sam Johnstone may return for West Brom after being sidelined with coronavirus.

The goalkeeper missed Saturday’s 3-2 derby win at Wolves as he continued to feel the after effects having trained on Friday.

Conor Gallagher is available again after he served a one-match suspension but Karlan Grant (foot), Grady Diangana (hamstring) and Conor Townsend (knee) are sidelined while Matt Phillips (coronavirus) could also remain out.

West Ham provisional squad: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Lanzini, Bowen, Antonio, Fornals, Randolph, Fredericks, Johnson, Diop, Noble, Yarmolenko, Benrahma, Odubeko.

West Brom provisional squad: Johnstone, Button, Lonergan, Furlong, Gibbs, Ajayi, Ivanovic, Peltier, Kipre, O’Shea, Bartley, Field, Pereira, Phillips, Grosicki, Harper, Krovinovic, Sawyers, Snodgrass, Robinson, Edwards, Robson-Kanu.
