Team news
Andy Carroll and Sam Byram are the latest additions to West Ham's absentee list.

Captain Mark Noble completes a two-match ban while Michail Antonio (hamstring), Angelo Ogbonna (knee) and Pedro Obiang (ankle) are injured, but Winston Reid (groin) and Diafra Sakho (back) could return.
Everton's on-loan striker Enner Valencia is ineligible to face his parent club West Ham.
Midfielder James McCarthy may not feature again this season as he continues to struggle with a hamstring problem.
Muhamed Besic will play his second match for the Under-23s on Friday as he steps up his comeback from a serious knee injury, while Ramiro Funes Mori and Yannick Bolasie (both knee), Seamus Coleman (broken leg) and Aaron Lennon all remain absent.
