Carroll has returned to first-team training and is likely to take his place on the substitutes' bench, with the in-form Marko Arnautovic leading the line for David Moyes' side.

West Ham are also hopeful Manuel Lanzini will be fit to feature against the Potters having been without the midfielder for the past two matches.
