Danny Ings could make a rapid return to the West Ham side for Newcastle United claims David Moyes but trio are ruled out.
West Ham head to Newcastle looking to build on back-to-back 2-0 wins in the league and FA Cup with a positive result as they battle for survival.
Meanwhile Newcastle have their eyes firmly fixed on maintaining their push for a Champions League place.
The Magpies go into the Hammers clash off the back of a memorable night in midweek when they saw off Southampton to make the final of the Carabao Cup.
West Ham were boosted ahead of their furthest away trip of the Premier League season when Newcastle boss Eddie Howe confirmed he will be without five players for the match.
Moyes had several doubts for the Newcastle match with Gianluca Scamacca, Kurt Zouma, Maxwel Cornet and new arrival Ings all injured.
Ings suffered a knee injury seconds into his West Ham debut against Everton and was expected to be out until the Chelsea or Spurs games later this month.
But the Hammers have been given a massive shot in the arm.
Because Ings could make rapid return to the West Ham side for Newcastle claims Moyes but trio are ruled out.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Moyes revealed Ings looks set to be available but says the game comes too soon for Scamacca, Zouma and Cornet.
“Danny Ings is doing quite well and has a chance for tomorrow,” Moyes told the press (Football.London).
“Gianluca is not available, Zouma not available, Cornet not available. Everyone knows what he’s (Ings) capable of. Let’s hope he’s able to show that.
“All (Scamacca, Zouma and Cornet) getting better. I can’t give you an exact date on any. We never expected him (Cornet) to be back yet. We were hoping he would be. (He) needs to get more pitch work. He’s not feeling his calf muscle anymore. He’s 60-70 per cent.”
