West Ham United are set to take on Brighton & Hove Albion, but Toni Martinez will not feature.
Martinez has been in scintillating form for West Ham’s development squad recently, and he has scored with great frequency.
The Spanish forward’s excellent form has led to calls for him to be given a chance by Bilic, and it seemed that tomorrow’s match was a great opportunity for the former Valencia man to be handed his debut.
West Ham are without a number of their first choice strikers, with Bilic’s options limited.
Andy Carroll is currently out with suspension, Diafra Sakho is injured and Javier Hernandez is nursing a hamstring problem.
However, Bilic is still not going to give Martinez a chance – and West Ham fans are furious with the Croatian boss.
West Ham are currently in 15th place in the Premier League table, but if they can beat Brighton, Bilic’s side will move into the top half.
