With kick off scheduled for 12.30, there’s an early announcement of Nuno Espirito Santo’s line up for the Millwall derby at the Den. West Ham will hope to weather the storm from the terraces and no doubt a physical start from their opponents who will look to get under the Hammers’ players’ skin in any way they can to influence todays’ outcome.
Cool heads on the pitch should allow West Ham’s football to do the talking: If thy can recreate half of the quality which flowed last time out in the Championship when they rolled over Wrexham by six goals then Nuno’s side should have more than enough to get the job done in south London today.
West Ham’s starting line up has been announced and here it is:
West Ham United:
Hermansen, Walker Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Morato, Bowen (c)Engels, Mukasa, Solomon, Taty, Piroe
Which means Nuno’s made a pretty tough call and dropped Pablo, despite his first Hammers goal coming last time out. Joel Piroe gets the nod ahead of the bearded Brazilian for the start against Millwall.
We’ll be back with player ratings and first impressions articles straight after the game which is live on free-to-view ITV.

Correct decision, Piroe over Pablo at most times. Looks like strongest possible to me and I’m sticking by two goal margin to us.
You won’t let it go will you ?
Pablo hasn’t been dropped from the League games,he didn’t even come on against Wrexham. From that conclusion Taty who has only scored one goal in the league should be replaced by a player who has scored in a cup competition Nuno was happy to exit with his bizarre line up and formation.
