The FA review panel will sit today at Lancaster Gate in order to decide whether Hammers' talisman Manuel Lanzini was guilty of 'simulation in order to gain a pernicious advantage by deceiving the match officials'. That's quite a mouth full, but no where near the mouth full that beleaguered Stoke City boss Mark 'Sparky' Hughes gave to his ex-striker turned pantomime villain Marco 'Elbows' Arnoutovic.

Stoke City: Butland, Cameron, Shawcross, Wimmer, Pieters, Shaqiri, Fletcher, Allen, Sobhi ,Diouf, Crouch, Subs: Berahino, Choupo-Moting, Tymon, Adam, Ngoy, Grant, Edwards
West Ham: Adrian, Cresswell, Zabaleta, Obiang, Ogbonna, Collins, Antonio, Noble Masuaku, Lanzini. Arnautovic .Subs: Hart, Ayew, Sakho, Haksabanovic, Hernandez, Rice, Makasi

West Ham United's Kiwi warrior Winston Reid is suspended for the upcoming game away to Mark Hughes' Stoke City side having picked up his 5th yellow card for the season during the combative draw against Arsenal at the London Stadium. With Peter Crouch likely to feature Reid's ability to keep attackers in his pocket will surely be missed, however the Ginger Pele James Collins is available as is Declan Rice, both good centre backs, Rice has pace whereas 'Ginge' has experience.
