Slaven Bilic will be spoiled for choice up front this weekend as the Hammer head for Selhurst Park.

ClaretandHugh understands that every forward at the club is now fit for the first time this campaign thus presenting some difficult choices for the manager.

Andy Carroll, Enner Valencia and Mauro Zarate – who has looked outstanding in training – are all in the frame and will be battling for a role.

However, it’s quite possible that Manuel Lanzini will hold on to his first team shirt as the player to take the weight off Dimitri Payet up front.

Manager Slaven Bilic made a point of pointing to his contribution after the last game against  Norwich City and is likely to stick by him.

Carroll is more likely to be handed a place on the bench along with Valencia but the manager will wait until nearer the weekend after running fitness checks on the remainder of his players before naming the squad.
