Michail Antonio has been deemed fit for this evening's clash with Sevilla in the Europa League in what is a huge boost to West Ham's chances in the second leg tie. David Moyes was sweating on the fitness of his striker and was not prepared to start the Jamaican unless he was confident in his fitness.
The inclusion of Antonio is not the only big news from the London Stadium with Aaron Cresswell another doubt following an injury suffered against Aston Villa. As with Antonio, Cresswell has been deemed fit to start and will take up his usual spot on the left of defence.
Nikola Vlasic was also an injury doubt ahead of the clash and despite the Croatian making a recovery he remains out of the team with Said Benrahma taking his spot and Vlasic having to settle for a place on the bench.
