West Ham United face an incredibly important run of fixtures ahead of them.
The Hammers have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their crucial clash with Liverpool on Sunday, with the Evening Standard reporting that three of their key men could be fit to return to the fold against the Reds.
Aaron Cresswell, Michail Antonio and Cheikhou Kouyate all missed West Ham’s embarrassing loss to Arsenal on Saturday, and they watched on from the sidelines as their absence hit Slaven Bilic’s side a lot harder than he would have thought.

But the Evening Standard are now reporting that all three key men are in contention to take part against third placed Liverpool at the weekend – news that will be music to Hammers fans’ ears.
Dimitri Payet aside, Cresswell, Antonio and Kouyate are considered to be a key trio for the East London outfit, and Bilic will be hoping that they return to peak condition, ahead of what will arguably be the toughest spell of his managerial career.

Following their game at Liverpool, West Ham face a crucial trio of fixtures against Burnley, Hull City and Swansea City respectively, and they must be looking to take nine points from those three games, if they are to have any hope whatsoever of salvaging their woefully poor campaign.
