West Ham XI vs Watford: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League match

David Moyes is ready to welcome Michail Antonio back to action after the West Ham striker missed Saturday's FA Cup tie at Kidderminster, though there are concerns over Manuel Lanzini and Arthur Masuaku.

Antonio was absent from the squad on Saturday due to his flight back from international duty not landing until Friday lunchtime.

Masuaku will almost certainly miss Tuesday's visit of Watford in the Premier League as the full-back is set to see a specialist regarding a knee problem, while Lanzini has been struggling with an Achilles injury.

Lanzini had started all but two of West Ham's last 12 games before Saturday, having forced his way back into the side with some fine form, but could now be set for a spell on the sidelines.

“Michail is back,” said Moyes. “We've had an injury to Lanzini and an injury to Arthur. They are both doing okay but Arthur is going to see a specialist about his knee and Manu has needed a bit of time with an Achilles injury so we're not quite sure about Manu.

“Mich has returned and had a couple of day's training so hopefully he is fit.”

Kurt Zouma is expected to be fit to start after a small scare during Saturday's FA Cup tie at Kidderminster.
