Be bold Moyes!

By Hughie Southon

West Ham did ok against League One outfit Cambridge with their makeshift side on Tuesday evening.

But we can expect the manager to produce as close to a usual; starting line up as possible in Udinese tomorrow  (Sat).

With less than a couple of weeks left of the World Cup this is a really important fixture as we all bid to assess if the squad will be up getting right to speed for the toughest match of the season – Arsenal away on Boxing Day.

There will be no Declan, Aguerd  or Zouma is also set to miss the game along with Kehrer who will be on a post tournament break.

This should be a game which is treated as we would a Premier League clash and hopefully we shall see the best Moyes starting eleven.

Udinese – with six wins and six draws – sit eighth in Serie A and are no mugs who will be more than ready to give us a tough examination.

Here’s the team I hope starts for the Irons: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Oggy, Cresswell; Soucek, Lanzini, Fornals; Benrahma, Bowen, Scamacca.
