Potter says it is yet to be decided if Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville will be available on Sunday, stating: "Bowen has had one or two sessions and we still need to assess him. It's still early - we have another day so we'll see. It's important that we don't rush him in. It's the same with Crysencio [Summerville]."

Two second-half goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, a long-range strike and a late penalty, secured a deserved 2-0 win for the Eagles.

Graham Potter has left the door open to the possibility of West Ham signing a new centre-back this month. The Hammers head coach bemoaned the club’s shortage of options in central defence.

West Ham will be without a key defender for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa. Graham Potter takes his Hammers side back to Villa Park for the second time this month, having lost in the FA Cup third-round in his first game in charge.
