Kurt Zouma - Starting against Tottenham Zouma (personal) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Zouma is back in the starting XI after missing the last match due to dealing with a home invasion. West Ham will be happy to have the defender back, as he has started in most of the club's matches thus far, gaining that role in 12 of the club's 19 matches. He has been decent when on the pitch, registering eight tackles, 14 interceptions and 64 clearances to go along with one goal.

Kurt Zouma - Returns to training Zouma (personal) was back with the squad ahead of Thursday's clash with Tottenham. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Kurt Zouma is back in training and we're happy to have him b...

Impact Zouma should be back in contention for the starting XI after having dealt with a home invasion during the previous week. While Zouma isn't much of an attacking threat, he has just seven shots (four on target) in 12 appearances, he should rack up plenty of clearances as he is currently averaging 5.3 per match.

Michail Antonio - Remains out versus Spurs Antonio (knee) will not be an option against Tottenham on Thursday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "There is no Antonio, he's not back fit yet."

Impact Given the short week, Antonio probably shouldn't be expected back in time to face Fulham on Sunday. The forward has already missed three matches due to his knee problem and looks poised to be out of action for another pair of contests. Antonio will have to wait a little longer to break out of his current 11-match goal drought dating back to Aug. 26 versus Brighton.

Vladimir Coufal - Delivers assist in draw Coufal assisted once to go with six crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 79th m...

Impact Coufal helped open the scoring early in the match, as he set up teammate, Mohammed Kudus for a shot from the center of the box. The assist was the first in the last six league games for Coufal, who is now up to a total of five assists, in 14 appearances this season.

Mohammed Kudus - Scores once in draw Kudus scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Kudus opened the scoring with a shot from the center of the box, in the 13th minute of play. He remained forceful on the attack, delivering two accurate crosses and helping create one scoring chance. The goal marks his third in 11 appearances on the season. He is also up to a total of eight chances created and five accurate crosses.

Alphonse Areola - Concedes one in draw Areola registered one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Areola conceded in the 53rd minute, as his side lost their one-goal advantage, but he made his only save of the match minutes later and helped hang on for the draw. Areola maintained a maximum of one goal against for the eighth time in 14 appearances on the season. He is also up to a total of 49 saves, in comparison to 24 goals against.

Kurt Zouma - Dealing with burglary Zouma's house was burgled, which saw him sit out from Sunday's draw with Crystal Palace.

Impact Zouma's personal matter was announced Monday, and shouldn't prove to be a long-term issue for the defender. If Zouma is able to return he would likely see Konstantinos Mavropanos fall back to the bench for Thursday's trip to Tottenham.

Kurt Zouma - Out with personal matter Zouma (personal) was not an option during Sunday's 1-1 draw over Crystal Palace, per Malik Ouzia of The Standard.

Impact Zouma had started all 12 matches played for the team this season, totaling a goal while logging in 64 clearances. He is in competition with Konstantinos Mavropanos for a starting center back role for the club, as he could also keep getting the start if the defender needs more time on the sidelines.

Jarrod Bowen - Gets start against Palace Bowen (knee) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact It seems Bowen passed his late fitness test, and he will be tasked with leading the way upfront in a striker role. He'll have the support of Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta on the wings, though. Bowen has netted eight goals across 13 starts this season.

Jarrod Bowen - Late test against Palace Bowen (knee) is considered a late-fitness test for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager David Moyes. "Jarrod, of course, had an injury. I'll pick up with the...

Impact It's not a massive update from Moyes, which was to be expected after returning from Serbia. The reports have been limited from the Hammers on Bowen's injury, but he technically hasn't been ruled out and the severity of his knee injury was never made known. There's a chance he's ready to go Sunday, but if not, Danny Ings figures to remain in the XI against Palace.

Pablo Fornals - Busy in Europa League Fornals started and created one chance during Thursday's 1-0 win over TSC.

Impact Fornals has fallen out of the Premier League starting XI but remains a consistent part of the team in the Europa League. He got the start once more on Thursday and created a chance while putting together a nice performance. With Jarrod Bowen (undisclosed) ruled out Fornals could be in line for more minutes in all competitions moving forward.

Lukasz Fabianski - Keeps clean sheet Fabianski kept a clean sheet and made three saves during Thursday's 1-0 win over TSC.

Impact Fabianski was back in the starting XI, as he has been in the Europa League and kept his second clean sheet in a row. The goalkeeper might not be the top choice at this point, but he is still a more than competent option when handed a starting role.

Jarrod Bowen - Does not travel with team Bowen (knee) did not travel for Thursday's UEL clash with TSC Backa Topola, confirmed manager David Moyes.

Impact Bowen is still aiming for a return for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace after missing last match with a knee injury. Danny Ings is expected to get the start at forward for Thursday's UEL match in his absence.

Lucas Paqueta - Active display versus Burnley Paqueta had one off-target shot, created two chances, sent in one accurate cross, made four tackles (three won) and drew three fouls during Saturday's 2-1 win over Burnley.

Impact Paqueta wasn't brilliant and didn't score as he did in the previous match but his unique blend of hustle, skill and creativity allows him to put up nice numbers across the board depending on what the Hammers need from him. In his second EPL campaign, the playmaker is still some steps behind the fantasy studs from his position but the upside is there.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Solid defensively versus Burnley Aguerd made one tackle, four clearances and one interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 2-1 win over Burnley.

Impact Aguerd bounced back from a very shy performance on his previous outing, pacing his side in clearances and imposing his will against opposing forwards when he had to. With 21 clearances over his last five EPL outings, the center-back never looked back after returning from World Cup last season and remains one of West Ham's steadiest fantasy performers.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Logs nine crosses versus Burnley Ward-Prowse had one off-target shot, created two chances and sent in nine crosses (four accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Burnley.

Impact Ward-Prowse couldn't extend his assist streak but was still active as usual on the attacking end, being a threat on both open play and set pieces with his dangerous crosses. With 84 crosses over 12 EPL appearances, the midfielder ranks fourth among all EPL players in total crosses and third in accurate crosses despite having played one less game than his competitors, so count on him to be a fantasy factor in any given matchup.
