The Hammers have recovered from a poor start to the season by winning six of their last seven fixtures in all competitions, but Benrahma and Lanzini have been used sparingly.

The playmaker, who cost £9million in 2016, has not been handed any game-time in the competition since August and only tallied 93 minutes on the pitch.

There are doubts over Lanzini's future as his £70,000-per-week contract is due to expire next summer, but West Ham could extend the agreement by a further two years.

"At the end of the day, that is going to be the case for
