Samuelson is on loan at Blackburn from the Hammers but did not play for the Championship side at the weekend, while Fletcher was a substitute for the first team’s game at Everton.

Fletcher created the opening goal against Albion, turning in the area and then sending in a cross which was turned into his own net by Jack Fitzwater.

And Fletcher made it 2-0 just after the half-hour mark, taking full advantage after being found by a fine cross from Calleri.

West Ham continued to dominate, with Marcus Browne seeing an effort deflected on to the bar, Declan Rice being denied by a fine save, and Calleri missing a chance to score before the interval.

Calleri missed another opportunity in the second half and Browne also went close before Dara O’Shea scored for the visitors in injury time.
