West Ham XI vs Watford: Zouma starts - team news, starting lineup & injury updates for Premier League match today

Kurt Zouma starts for West Ham United against Watford in the Premier League this evening.

Essex Police had earlier confirmed they were aware of a video in which the Frenchman appears to attack a cat and would be looking into the matter further.

Michail Antonio was absent from the squad on Saturday due to his flight back from international duty not landing until Friday lunchtime.

Arthur Masuaku will miss Tuesday's visit of Watford in the Premier League as the full-back is set to see a specialist regarding a knee problem, while Manuel Lanzini has been struggling with an Achilles injury.

Lanzini had started all but two of West Ham's last 12 games before Saturday, having forced his way back into the side with some fine form, but could now be set for a spell on the sidelines.

“Michail is back,” said Moyes. “We've had an injury to Lanzini and an injury to Arthur. They are both doing okay but Arthur is going to see a specialist about his knee and Manu has needed a bit of time with an Achilles injury so we're not quite sure about Manu.

“Mich has returned and had a couple of day's training so hopefully he is fit.”
