West Ham face a crucial clash with Everton on Wednesday, as the Hammers look to secure their first victory under the tenure of David Moyes and bring an end to a run of six Premier League matches without a win.
The East London giants remain in the bottom three after Friday night’s 1-1 draw with Leicester City but positive improvements have been shown since Moyes took charge- and the Scotsman is relishing his return to Goodison Park.
Everton, on the back of a 4-1 drubbing against Southampton and a mammoth 5-1 defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League, are in poor form and are still yet to appoint a replacement for Ronald Koeman, despite the Toffees continuing to struggle under the temporary guidance of David Unsworth.
That raises big problems for Wednesday night’s hosts and will hand the Hammers a further boost, just as this crucial piece of injury news will.
Respected independent fan site Claret & Hugh state Marko Arnautovic is available for the clash against the Toffees despite suffering a knee issue in the draw with Leicester City, whilst Player of the Year Michail Antonio is also braced for a return.
Sam Byram is also edging closer to a return, and could feature this weekend against Manchester City, but Javier Hernandez and James Collins remain sidelined.
