West Ham United manager David Moyes will welcome back striker Danny Ings into his squad to face Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.
The Hammers head into their meeting with the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium boosted by the return of Ings to the squad, who scored twice on his full West Ham debut a week ago during a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Ings was not eligible for selection on Wednesday night’s FA Cup fifth round defeat to Manchester United, having been cup-tied for the game after playing for former side Aston Villa against Stevenage shortly before his £12million London Stadium switch.

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will not be involved for the trip to Sussex after undergoing an eye operation on Thursday, following a fractured eye socket and cheekbone injury sustained in the win over the Tricky Trees.
Right-back Vladimir Coufal was also forced off at half-time of that victory with a heel injury and remains a doubt for the game, with Moyes not providing an update on him during his pre-match press conference.
The Scot will havea late call to make on centre-back Kurt Zouma, who both missed the win over Forest and the Old Trafford defeat with a thigh issue, but he has been pictured in training this week. Zouma has missed the last six games with a thigh injury sustained in the January win over Everton, his first game back after undergoing knee surgery in November.
Cornet has missed more than five months and the last 24 games with a calf issue suffered on his full Premier League debut for the club in October. The Ivorian started for the Hammers' under-21s against Manchester City on Friday night, making it unlikely he will be involved at Brighton.
With Fabianski, Coufal, Ings, Cornet, and Zouma all missing the FA Cup loss, academy duo Divin Mubama and Kamarai Swyer made the bench, with the academy potentially being turned to again if numbers are short.
Here is a look at who could feature for the Hammers against the Seagulls.
