So finally the worst kept secret is out – Aaron Cresswell and Mikey Antonio line up against Sevilla tonight in a historic London Stadium atmosphere.
David Moyes has named the pair after claiming to be unsure yesterday in training after CandH had made it clear that the defender was fit and Mikey had only a small injury.
Nikola Vlasic – who had taken a knockĀ – but was also claimed to be fit is on the bench along with fit again Arthur Masuaku.
Said Benrahma – who got tow assists on Sunday against Villa is involved in the starting eleven along with Manu Lanzini but of course the big miss is Jarrod Bowen who remains on the side lines after suffering a bruised heel.
It’s a huge night and the atmosphere in the sold out stadium is something extraordinary as the Hammers look to create a magical evening by fighting their way past a one goal lead and into the quarter finals.
