West Ham will be without Marko Arnautovic when they host Crystal Palace after the forward was ruled out for a month with a thigh injury.

Arnautovic joins Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko, Ryan Fredericks, Carlos Sanchez, Aaron Cresswell, Winston Reid and Manuel Lanzini on a lengthy casualty list.

But defenders Pablo Zabaleta and Fabian Balbuena are available after missing the midweek win over Cardiff.

Provisional squad: Fabianski, Adrian, Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Rice, Obiang, Noble, Diangana, Snodgrass, Anderson, Antonio, Hernandez, Carroll, Perez, Silva.

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson reported no fresh injury concerns.

The Eagles went down 3-1 at rivals Brighton on Tuesday night, where forward Alexander Sorloth and defender Jeffrey Schlupp both came off the bench.

Forward Connor Wickham (thigh) and defender Scott Dann (knee) have been stepping up their rehabilitation, while striker Christian Benteke continues his recovery from a knee injury.

Provisional Squad: Hennessey, Van Aanholt, Tomkins, Sakho, Wan-Bissaka, Milivojevic, Meyer, Kouyate, Townsend, McArthur, Zaha, Guaita, Ward, Schlupp, Kelly, Puncheon, Sorloth, Ayew.
