"West Ham United head coach Nuno Spirito Santo told Thursday's press conference that midfielder Lucas Paqueta will not feature amid transfer speculation linking the Brazil international with a move away during the January transfer window. El Hadji Malick Diouf could be involved following the conclusion of the Africa Cup of Nations but Lukasz Fabianski remains out. Sunderland duo Habib Diarra and Chemsdine Talbi have also returned from the continental tournament and "could" feature, according to head coach Regis Le Bris. Arthur Masuaku, however, will be sidelined for up to six weeks after he sustained an ankle injury on international duty."
"Players out: West Ham - Paqueta, Diouf, Fabianski Sunderland - Masuaku, Traore Doubts: Sunderland - Diarra, Talbi Key FPL notes: West Ham's Crysencio Summerville (5.5m) has scored in back-to-back matches in all competitions and was the highest FPL points scorer (10) against Spurs last time out.
