West Ham welcome back Lucas Paqueta and Crysencio Summerville for todays trip to the coast to face Brighton & Hove Albion.

Following a day yesterday where most results fell kindly for our Hammers, it is now a case of West Ham can take full advantage in the battle to avoid the drop this season.

That being said, although there is positive news surrounding returning players, it appears from the update on The West Ham Way Patreon earlier, that Nuno is set to once again ring the changes to the Irons lineup.

West Ham have Lucas Paqueta available for selection following his suspension and the manager has already said he will come straight back into the starting team. This is likely to be at the expense of Tomas Soucek.

The excellent news is that Crysencio Summerville has been back in training and should be available for selection as well.

Whenever the club have two games in quick succession the manager appears to change things up and this is expected to happen today with possible changes in formation and personnel being explored in training. He has also given some consideration as to whether Callum Wilson can play this many games in a row.

The manager is currently assessing the squad ahead of the January transfer window and could opt to include a fringe player or two for this purpose. Perhaps one of Rodriquez, Irving or Walker-Peters. Niclas Fulkrug has also returned to the squad.
