West Ham United attacker Mohammed Kudus starts a three-game suspension when the Irons host Manchester United in Sunday's Premier League clash at the London Stadium.
The Ghana international lost his head in last weekend's 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, striking no fewer than two Spurs players in the face in the dying embers and rightfully seeing red.
The suspended Kudus is expected to be one of two absentees for the Irons this weekend, as Niclas Fullkrug is also managing a calf injury, so Michail Antonio's place up top is surely safe.
Crysencio Summerville would be a like-for-like swap for Kudus on the left flank and should be given the nod in the Ghanaian's absence, as Jarrod Bowen struts his stuff on the opposite side.
Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta should retain their spots in midfield too, the former fending off the threat of Carlos Soler, but Guido Rodriguez was also withdrawn just after the hour in the Tottenham loss and is at risk of making way.
Edson Alvarez would be the man to benefit if the under-fire Julen Lopetegui does feel that a midfield alteration is in order, while Jean-Clair Todibo was also poor against Spurs and may make way for Dinos Mavropanos.
However, Emerson Palmieri, Alphonse Areola, Max Kilman and Aaron Wan-Bissaka - squaring up to his old club - are all set to retain their places at the back.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez; Bowen, Paqueta, Soucek, Summerville; Antonio
