West Ham United are getting more of their guys back now, so that’s obviously a positive. Dinos Mavropanos (thigh injury) and Crysencio Summerville (knock) are expected to be back in the matchday squad against Liverpool tomorrow. Also, Lucas Paqueta is available again, having served a one match ban for yellow card accumulation.

West Ham Team News
So that is more good news for manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who provided this update on Dinos and Summerville yesterday: “Both of them are getting better – still tomorrow to assess.”
The Irons are also just outside of the drop zone now, so hey, some baby steps of positivity happening now. You do have two long-standing injury absentees though, in goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and Oliver Scarles.
Otherwise that is the team news situation right now, so the Hammers might have a puncher’s chance tomorrow, given the current state of their opponent.
Liverpool are in a tailspin right now.
