West Ham emerge from an injury crisis of epic proportions today, expecting to welcome back Jarrod Bowen following his foot fracture in the Liverpool fixture. Some speculation has been fuelled- by the Hammers own training video showing him in an animated training session – that Crysencio Summerville may also be ready for a return to the starting XI as well.

Why, I don’t know, but I have a sneaky suspicion there is a bit of bluff going on: I would not be surprised to see Potter revert to the style of the starting XI against Aston Villa in the FA Cup game, using wing-backs again with Summerville in the team. Konstantinos Mavropanos can also return as a centre back option having served his one game suspension.

So, as a guess, ( 3-4-2-1)

Areola | Wan Bissaka, Kilman, Mavropanos,| Coufal or Summerville if fit, Soucek, Alvarez, Emerson, |Kudus, Paquetá | Bowen(c)

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970.. 'Football is Life' oh yes. Let it raise your spirit but never darken your mood. Life's too short not to enjoy the journey with our Claret and Blue heroes n' villains.
