West Ham United will play host to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Hammers boss David Moyes spoke to the media ahead of his side’s clash with West Brom on Tuesday, and provided an injury update on Mark Noble and Michail Antonio, suggesting that the duo are unlikely to be fit enough for the game, as quoted by football news website Football.London.
West Ham’s clash with West Brom will be a huge one for both clubs.
The east Londoners currently sit in 17th spot, three points and two places clear of the Black Country outfit, with relegation down to the Championship seemingly a very real prospect for both clubs this season.

The Hammers have had rotten luck with injuries this season, and Moyes will be hoping that some of his best players return from injury as soon as possible.
The Scot spoke to reporters today and provided a fitness update on two of his key players ahead of their game with Swansea on Tuesday, as quoted by Football.London:
“Noble is making progress, has trained for a couple of days but he has not joined us yet but making progress, it’s his hamstring. Antonio is not joined us yet, he is recovering, we don’t think his groin is as bad as we first thought. Will he make the game? Probably just a bit too soon to say.”
A defeat for either side at the London Stadium on Tuesday could prove to be detrimental to their hopes of avoiding the drop this season, and Alan Pardew’s side will be confident in their ability to leave the capital with all three points, upon hearing the news of Noble and Antonio’s likely absence.
