Crystal Palace will be boosted by the return of Mamadou Sakho on Boxing Day, but several injury issues persist in the squad.
Roy Hodgson's side have been ravaged by injuries to key first-team players over the past month and remain without defenders Joel Ward, Gary Cahill and most likely Scott Dann against West Ham.
Andros Townsend and Jeffrey Schlupp are also long-term absentees.
Sakho had returned to the side earlier this month but, on his first start since September against Bournemouth, was shown a straight red card for a 19th-minute challenge on Adam Smith.
He has now served a three-match ban and has plenty riding on his shoulders.
Cheikhou Kouyate was forced to deputise at the back during the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle but should return to midfield, displacing James McCarthy.
Christian Benteke, without a Palace goal this season having notched just once across the past two campaigns, will continue up front in place of Townsend.
Crystal Palace predicted XI (4-3-3): Guaita; Kelly, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt; Milivojevic, Kouyate, McArthur; Zaha, Benteke, Ayew.
