West Ham United are reportedly hoping to welcome back three senior players from injury in time to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Slaven Bilic was without nine first team players for the 5-1 drubbing at the hands of London rivals Arsenal on Saturday.
Key men Aaron Cresswell and Michail Antonio are expected to be available, while Cheikhou Kouyate is also in line for a return after missing the Arsenal match with a slight hamstring injury.
Former Leeds United man, Sam Byram, who has been out since October with a torn hamstring, is also back in training and should be available for the festive period.
