TEAM NEWS

West Ham forward Michail Antonio, who hasn't played in December because of a hamstring injury, will be assessed ahead of the game.

Midfielder Manuel Lanzini could return after sitting out the defeat at Chelsea on Monday with a hamstring strain.

Brighton full-back Tariq Lamptey, who missed the draw with Sheffield United, has not yet recovered from a minor hamstring problem.

But the Seagulls have no new injuries ahead of the busy Christmas period.

For the minority of us that don't use streams or have Sky/BT sports...but do have sky.

I'm really looking forward to seeing us live for the first time this season on Sky One!

Our usual three points from the irons, please. Bunch of tossers, even if they are punching above their weight this season.

Expect nothing, hoping for a point, would be very happy with a win. Losing 3-2 with a goal or two from Trossard/Connolly/Maupay would be almost as good as a 0-0.

We are not the same team without Lamtey.....

I am trying to remain cool about this one, sit back, watch tv enjoy it as a game and not be too disappointed if , or when, we lose.... do you think I will succeed in that?

I take it the fasination with players who most definitely aren't going to play is because everyone else is shite.

No Tariq Lamptey again, according to Naylor. Hamstring.

I fear this will be the norm for a highly strung sprinter sadly.

Obviously hoping for a much needed win but don't think GP will pick a side to grind it out. . That's for another thread.

One of my all time favourite bits of fan video recordings came from an Irons fan at the Amex:: “He’s only f***ing done it again”

In a voice that sounds like a hammed up Eastenders extra! It is a superb moment!
