Kurt Zouma has been forced to step down from the Hammers team this afternoon after reporting that he felt unwell.

That’s all we know at the moment but it means that Issa Diop steps up at a time when he has been out of form. Fingers crossed.

It was good to see Spurs slipping up in their pursuit of a top four place with Wolves giving them a 2-0 beating   this afternoon.

It means that the north London mob now have two games in hand on the Hammers ahead of our kick off at Leicester with a total of 36 points to our 40.

Wolves, however, now become something of a threat having collected 37 points from 23 games with life at the top becoming tighter and tighter.

With Arsenal on 39 points from 22 and Manchester United – currently on level points with us at 40 things are as open as they have ever been up there.

It’s now very much a case of come on you Irons.
