West Ham United will be looking to progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
The Hammers returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest to lift themselves out of the Premier League relegation zone and pick up some momentum heading into the midweek fixture.
But there are still a number of injury concerns for West Ham boss David Moyes, with goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and defender Vladimir Coufal both sustaining injuries in the victory against Forest.

Ahead of the meeting with United, here is a look at West Ham’s current list of absentees.
Maxwel Cornet (calf)
Maxwel Cornet looks set for his long-awaited return to the first-team after five months out with a calf injury suffered against Chelsea.
The summer signing from Burnley is back in training and speaking ahead of the Forest win, David Moyes said he could give him some games for the Hammers' U21 side or throw him in for the senior team given how he has looked in training.
“I’ve been really impressed by how he’s come back,” said Moyes. “Maxi [Cornet] has come back this week and looked sharp and quick. He looks like he’s on the verge of being ready to be rolled out.
“I’m pleased because he’s been out for such a long time, I’m hoping I won’t need to take too much time but it’s very difficult. For someone to be out for five months and say: 'okay get your gear on, you’re going to go straight back out’ is not happening that often.
“But, back to the point, we haven’t got much time so we might need to get him out as quickly as we possibly can.”
Kurt Zouma (thigh)
Having only returned from a two-month absence due to knee surgery in the win over Everton last month, French centre-back Kurt Zouma is now back on the treatment table.
The former Chelsea star sustained a small tear in his thigh in the first half of the win over his former side but managed to finish the fixture.
Speaking on Zouma prior to the weekend, Moyes confirmed the defender was back in training.
Lukasz Fabianski (eye)
Polish shotstopper Lukasz Fabianski was taken off in the second-half of Saturday's game after sustaining a nasty looking eye injury.
Alphonse Areola replaced the ex-Arsenal goalkeeper and is likely to get the nod between the sticks given the potential severity of the wound.
"You’ve probably seen Lukasz’s eye is quite bad, I think we’re more worried about his eye socket area, that sort of thing," said Moyes.
"I’ve had a look, he [Fabianski] seems okay. Obviously it’s come up very quickly and it’s black and blue."
Vladimir Coufal (heel)
Another player forced off against the Tricky Trees, Vladimir Coufal lasted 45 minutes before being taken off with a heel injury.
Though Moyes said after the final whistle that it wasn't that bad, the quick turnaround may force the defender to miss out on the trip to Manchester.
Moyes said: "Vladimir Coufal has got a bit of a heel injury, he’s been feeling a bit on his heel but I didn’t think it was quite that bad, but he had to come off with it at half-time."
