Andy Carroll is in the West Ham squad for the first time this season for the visit of Huddersfield on Monday.

The striker has recovered from his latest injury lay-off, a thigh problem, and is joined by fit-again defender Winston Reid (calf).

Provisional Squad: Hart, Adrian, Zabaleta, Byram, Masuaku, Cresswell, Reid, Ogbonna, Collins, Fonte, Obiang, Noble, Kouyate, Rice, Antonio, Ayew, Sakho, Hernandez, Carroll.

Huddersfield's latest signings Abdelhamid Sabiri and Florent Hadergjonaj are both in contention to make their debuts in Monday night's game at West Ham.

Midfielder Sabiri and defender Hadergjonaj featured in Sunday's friendly win against Altona 93 in Germany and are likely to be named in David Wagner's squad.

Provisional Squad: Hart, Adrian, Zabaleta, Byram, Masuaku, Cresswell, Reid, Ogbonna, Collins, Fonte, Obiang, Noble, Kouyate, Rice, Antonio, Ayew, Sakho, Hernandez, Carroll.

Key match stats (supplied by Opta)

This will be the first league meeting between the teams since March 1972, a game West Ham won 3-0 at Upton Park.

However, the sides met more recently in the League Cup in the 1997/98 campaign, with West Ham winning 3-1 on aggregate in the second round, with John Hartson scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 win in the second leg.

This is only the second Premier League season that West Ham United have started with three defeats. In the other; 2010-11, they ended bottom of the league.

Three of the last four teams to have lost their opening four Premier League games of the season have ended that campaign bottom of the league.

Huddersfield haven’t won back to back away matches in the top-flight since their final two away games of the 1955/56 campaign.

If Huddersfield win this match, they’ll equal the 2017 Premier League points tally of both Sunderland and Middlesbrough (10 points in 19 games).

Joe Hart has conceded as many goals in three Premier League games as a West Ham player than he did in his final 10 appearances for Manchester City in the competition (10).

Huddersfield’s Jonas Lössl is looking to become only the fourth goalkeeper in Premier League history to keep a clean sheet in each of his first four appearances in the competition, after Pepe Reina, Alex Manninger and Anders Lindegaard.

Only five sides have previously kept a clean sheet in their opening four games of a Premier League season – the last were Man City in 2015-16 – and never before has a newly-promoted side done this in the competition.

36.3% of Huddersfield’s passes in the Premier League this season have been in the attacking third of the pitch; a league-high.

West Ham United have allowed their opponents a league-high nine clear-cut chances in front of goal this season, from which they have conceded eight goals.
