Hammers are number 9 in the ball selection, the other main numbers to look out for are: Chelsea number 7, Everton number 8, Tottingham number 11, Liverpool number 12 and Man City number 15.

Paying attention to fitness issues is a permanent part of being a West Ham fan, let's face it you have to! Hammers fans are close to being medical experts such has been their exposure to players who are in constant need of treatment! However there is fitness to play, which should not be confused with fitness to wear the shirt, after Andriy Yarmolenko's horror show yesterday the club really should be looking at cancelling his contract.

There are growing fears that Hammers current record signing at the club, Kurt Zouma may have sustained an injury that might be worse than first thought during yesterday's FA Cup 4th round tie. After the game against Kidderminster David Moyes said “I think he’s okay. I was a bit worried. Obviously, the plan was not to play him as long but we made changes to try and get ourselves in the cup and stay in the cup so unfortunately, I was not able to bring him off earlier.”
