EPL: West Ham v West Brom preview


West Ham v West Brom preview

Mark Noble and Michail Antonio are doubtful for West Ham as they host West Brom in the Premier League on Tuesday.


Captain Noble is struggling with a hamstring injury and winger Antonio has yet to resume training after a groin problem and could miss out at the London Stadium.

The Hammers currently sit one place and two points above West Brom in the final two relegation spots, and David Moyes is hoping their home form can aid West Ham's survival bid.

"I think the most important thing for us is to focus on how we can get ourselves away from the bottom end," he said. "So all we can do is focus on ourselves and keep our home form as good as we can as well. We need to win our home games."

Jay Rodriguez also believes West Brom are gaining momentum in their quest to save their season after he scored an 89th-minute penalty to earn a 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Sunday.

"It's all about momentum now and we're putting our game to other teams which is something we are working hard at," he told the club's official website.

"Every lad is working to the maximum and we just need that little bit of luck, maybe, to kick us off. It's been difficult but I really hope the momentum has changed and things will be more positive."

Elsewhere for West Ham, Reece Oxford is back from a loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach, but Sam Byram (hamstring), Jose Fonte and Edimilson Fernandes (both ankle) are still out.

West Brom are expected to make changes with just 48 hours between games, and Alan Pardew could recall James McClean, Oliver Burke, Grzegorz Krychowiak and Allan Nyom.

West Brom manager Alan Pardew will return to his former club this week  Salomon Rondon (hamstring) is still struggling while Nacer Chadli (hip) and James Morrison (achilles) are out.
