West Ham injury, suspension list: Team news for Premier League game vs Tottenham

Manuel Lanzini and Jack Wilshere are on track to feature against London rivals Tottenham after stepping up their recoveries from respective injuries.

Wilshere, who made a first appearance since December off the bench against Leicester last weekend, has struggled with ankle issues all season while Lanzini picked up a hamstring problem having returned from his ACL injury earlier in the season.

Both have returned to training at Rush Green this week ahead of facing Tottenham, who have a 100 per cent record at their new stadium, alongside Aaron Cresswell (knee) and Javier Hernandez (ear infection).

The Hammers are without a win on the road in eight, having last won at Southampton on December 27, and have slipped out of the race for European competition.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini, though, is hoping Wilshere can have an impact over the last three games, though neither him or Lanzini are likely to start at Spurs.

"When he is fit and he can work with normality and have no problems, of course he will make a difference," Pellegrini said of the former Arsenal man. "I always say that it is technical players who decide games. I think Jack is a very good technical player, a player who knows this league and that is so important. He will be the player that we need."

Predicted XI: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Antonio, Rice, Noble, Anderson, Arnautovic, Hernandez
