Hammers boss Graham Potter lacking options up front for latest London derby showdown
West Ham face a late call over Crysencio Summerville for today’s latest Premier League London derby against Crystal Palace.
The Dutch winger missed Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Fulham as new manager Graham Potter tasted victory in his first home game in charge of the club.
Former Leeds star Summerville pulled up during the FA Cup third round defeat by Aston Villa last week with a hamstring issue.
Centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo hasn’t featured since being forced off during the 4-1 loss at Manchester City earlier this month and is set to miss this game too. Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola is also expected to be sidelined.
Hammers skipper Jarrod Bowen is making good progress on his return from a broken foot but is not expected back here.
Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio are both facing an extended period out of action, leaving Potter very light on forward options.
Predicted West Ham XI: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez, Rodriguez; Kudus, Soucek, Soler; Paqueta
Doubts: Summerville, Areola
Injured: Bowen, Antonio, Fullkrug, Todibo
Time and date: 3pm GMT on Saturday January 18, 2025
