|

Konstantinos Mavropanos will again be attempting to show that he is the man David Moyes should be looking at as a Premier League starter should he – as expected – be involved against Olympiacos in his homeland tomorrow night.

The central defender has looked a very good signing on his two previous appearances in the competition and Premier League game against Sheffield United.

And with Kurt Zouma’s injury worries again emerging along with a loss of form on occasions by Nayef Aguerd, he has evert chance of staking a claim to a position perhaps against Everton at the weekend.

One thing is for sure Moyes will have plenty of chances to make up his mind about his PL starting chances with games coming up quickly against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, and Brentford, Forest and Burnley over the next month.

November also takes in the away game against Backus Topolo in the Europa League.
