It looks simple for Moyes

Assuming there are no unknown injuries we can make a pretty good bet on tonight’s lilely Hammers line up.

All the clues were given in the six changes the manager made for the last game when it became clear that Europe is now the priority.

The only doubt is a good one – whether or not Kurt Zouma will be back to take his place alongside the heroic Craig Dawson in central defence.

Beyond that it looks a pretty simple selection procedure for the boss who looks likely to return to four at the back for a game that is there to be won.

Respect for the oposition? Of course as we showed against Lyon who were finally brushed aside after a first game which saw Cressie criminally sent off.

The spirit and determination carried us through that and tonight we will be expecting more from a team that has over-achieved for most of the season against a mid table Bundesliga side.

Here’s the likely line up assuming Zouma isn’t available:

Areola; Coufal Johnson, Dawson, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek, Lanzini, Fornals, Bowen, Antonio.

CandH prediction 2-0

  1. If that is the team let’s hear a shout for Ben Johnson who at 22 is playing three different positions in our first team at the highest level of pressure. COYI
