West Ham United held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw in the Premier League on Monday and now they turn their focus towards Crystal Palace.

The Hammers travel to Selhurst Park this weekend and Manuel Pellegrini has a number of injury concerns before the game.

Samir Nasri will not return back to full fitness meaning Snodgrass will once again play as the most advanced midfielder.

And just a couple of days ago, even Marko Arnautovic was expected to miss the game against Crystal Palace.




Marko Arnautovic obviously had a whirlwind January after having gotten so close to moving out of the club.

A Chinese club had shown interest in signing him but the offer was pulled off during the final few days prompting Arnautovic to stay over at the London Stadium.

But since then, the forward hasn’t seen much game time due to an injury but now the manager has confirmed that he will be available for selection when West Ham travel to Selhurst Park.




“Marko Arnautovic and Aaron Cresswell worked the complete week without any problems, but Samir Nasri needs some more days to recover from his calf injury,” said Pellegrini.




“Marko is available for the weekend. He worked the complete week without problems.

“Of course, it is good news for us. He is a player who makes a difference and is important for our team.

“He needs to recover his best shape after a long time without playing and with his last injury, so I hope he will be a very important player for us over the last part of the season.”




If Marko Arnautovic was to be named in the first XI Javier Hernandez will be sacrificed and the Mexican will once again move back to the bench.
