Crystal Palace vs West Ham United - Tomkins sidelined for Eagles

A calf strain has ruled out Crystal Palace’s James Tomkins for the visit of West Ham on Saturday.

In his absence Scott Dann is expected to start in the Premier League for the first time since December 2017, though Martin Kelly is also vying for selection.

A minor injury suffered by Julian Speroni means he joins Cheikhou Kouyate, Pape Souare and Connor Wickham on the sidelines.

Marko Arnautovic is available for West Ham.

The Austrian forward missed Monday’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool due to a foot injury but he has trained this week.

Samir Nasri is still missing with a slight calf injury while Jack Wilshere, Fabian Balbuena, Andriy Yarmolenko, Manuel Lanzini, Winston Reid, Andre Silva and Carlos Sanchez remain sidelined.
