West Ham are without two key players for this evening's derby clash in the Premier League at London Stadium (8.15pm UK).
Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola misses out with a groin injury, so Łukasz Fabianski looks set to take over in goal. Meanwhile, influential Mexico international midfielder Edson Alvarez is suspended after picking up 10 yellow cards. Better news for David Moyes sees Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd back in training on Monday after a shoulder issue.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Moyes reported: "Alphonse has hurt his groin. We're hopeful that it's not too serious, but he won't be available on Tuesday night. He might be back quite quickly, so we'll just have to see how things develop over the coming days.
"Nayef has trained today, so we'll need to see how he is on Tuesday in the lead-up to the game. Apart from that, we've just got a couple of knocks here and there, and similarly we'll have to make a call on those tomorrow."
