West Ham United v Southampton

West Ham are without a recognised left-back after Arthur Masuaku joined Aaron Cresswell on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Central defender Winston Reid will return, but Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho remain out.

Southampton boss Claude Puel is expected to hand a start to Charlie Austin, who has scored four goals in his last three matches.

Fellow striker Jay Rodriguez is doubtful because of a knock.
