This is good news for Hammers manager Sam Allardyce, who already has a considerable injury headache, with midfielder Mark Noble and captain Kevin Nolan both ruled out of the London derby through an arm injury and a toe injury respectively. In a double boost for Big Sam, left back George McCartney is also available for selection, but having made his comeback from the knee injury which had ruled him out since December for the Development Squad on Friday night against Arsenal U21s, today may well come too soon for him, with the Northern Irishman lacking match fitness. Winger Matty Taylor, however, is odds-on to be back in the starting line up (as exclusively reported to you by Blowing Bubbles this week) after being taken off during the 1-0 victory at Stoke City a fortnight ago with concussion. Confirmed team news is expected at 3pm.
