This is the key tonight

This fella is absolute mustard, the best striker in the league outside the top 6

Sit on him Duffy and Dunk

Get the midfield roaring from the kick off, hopefully with Jakanbasch getting his long overdue first start and feed mighty Glenn

What would be your plan ?

Felipe Anderson is a class act...

Montoya will be tested by him and this will be a key duel...

Hammers fans just as concerned with Murray as we are with Arnautovic

Arnautovic is good on his day, but regularly goes missing when he doesn't fancy it. West Ham have hit a bit of form of late and he's been a part of that, but nobody was raving about him when they were utterly stinking the place out over the first 4 games this season, getting humped at home by Wolves and the muff.

It really depends which West Ham / Arnautovic turns up.

I hope we start as we did against Fulham, get at them early, get our wingers forward with support from our fullbacks and try to take a bit of control of the midfield. Hopefully we won't miss any penalties.

West Ham’s front three are all very good players. However, the rest of their team has nothing to fear so let’s hope we can get on the front foot and starve their forward players of the ball.

Also, Zabaleta is very slow now so hopefully Izquierdo will start.

He scored 2 in the opening 3 games... so that's pretty much rubbish. He's got 4 in 7... plus an assist. I'd say that's pretty consistent.

This. He's "in form", he's not "the best striker outside the top 6" any more than Vardy, Murray or Mitrovic.

And personally I'd probably take either of the two at Bournemouth over any of them at the moment - Fraser and Wilson.

Like I said, he's decent on his day, but he certainly has plenty of "off" days as well when he doesn't turn up. He could rip us a new one tonight, but equally he could be totally anonymous, there's rarely very much inbetween from what I've seen of him. Some games he looks like he just can't be arsed, lets hope tonight is one of them.

Or perhaps more so which ALBION team turns up.

Very much this. Come out of the traps like a home team and we'll give ourselves a great chance. Tiptoe onto the pitch a-la Spurs and we'll get nothing.

Agreed. I'm not sure Arnautovic would pass our "no dickheads" test either, he sounds high maintenance. He all but went on strike at Stoke to force a move.

My West Ham supporting friend says he is a doubt, late fitness test.
