Player to watch…
Lucas Perez: The Spanish striker scored his first league goals for 700 days on Wednesday, as his double helped the Hammers beat Cardiff City 3-1. The 30-year-old came off the bench to great effect, and will be pushing for a start in a team which has discovered some form in recent weeks. Perez signed from Arsenal for £4m in the summer but has been restricted to just six appearances from the bench in the league so far this season.
