West Ham remain without suspended skipper Mark Noble for the visit of Burnley.

Boss Manuel Pellegrini will hand left-back Aaron Cresswell a late fitness test on a groin problem.

Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll (both ankle) are due back after the international break but Andriy Yarmolenko, Carlos Sanchez, Manuel Lanzini and Winston Reid are long-term absentees.

Provisional squad: Fabianski, Masuaku, Balbuena, Diop, Zabaleta, Obiang, Snodgrass, Rice, Anderson, Arnautovic, Antonio, Adrian, Ogbonna, Fredericks, Cresswell, Diangana, Hernandez, Perez.

Aaron Lennon is available for Burnley, while Jack Cork faces a late fitness test.

Winger Lennon has recovered from the sickness bug that ruled him out of last Sunday’s 4-0 loss to Chelsea, a game that saw midfielder Cork come off with an ankle problem.

Defender Ben Gibson (hernia) will definitely not be involved at the London Stadium on Saturday, along with left-back Stephen Ward (knee) and goalkeeper Nick Pope (shoulder).

Provisional squad: Hart, Heaton, Lowton, Taylor, Tarkowski, Mee, Bardsley, Long, Cork, Gudmundsson, Brady, Hendrick, Defour, Westwood, Lennon, McNeil, Vokes, Barnes, Wood, Vydra.
