West Ham manager David Moyes could be handed a boost with the possible return of joint-top goalscorer Michail Antonio on Monday.

The forward has been suffering from a hamstring injury which has kept him on the sidelines for over a month.

Antonio started the season with three goals from his first six matches and his return could be imminent.

Midfielder Ross Barkley remains out for Aston Villa after suffering a hamstring injury.

The Chelsea loanee was forced off in last week’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton and is out for up to three weeks.

West Ham provisional squad: Fabianski, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Coufal, Rice, Soucek, Masuaku, Bowen, Haller, Fornals, Benrahma, Antonio, Snodgrass, Noble, Diop, Johnson, Randolph.

Aston Villa provisional squad: Martinez, Steer, Cash, Guilbert, Konsa, Hause, Mings, Targett, Taylor, Luiz, McGinn, Grealish, Ramsey, Trezeguet, Elmohamady, Hourihane, Nakamba, El Ghazi, Davis, Traore, Watkins.
