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.

Kilman again 🤷♂️
To all those fans who are anti Pablo,a game changer today.We we’re so poor in the first half, I was almost dreading the second half, but well done to everyone for grinding out a well deserved point on the second half display.
Well done Kante for taking one for the team, stopped a certain goal
I just wished we could start playing from the start and stop the first goal by the opposition because we are always chasing the game.
Still need to sort the defence out, is a big worry when we come up against one of the top teams
Well done boys
I enjoyed the game
Our defence are very competent and have shown themselves to be so in the game against Wrexham, Sue.
We just need to keep the ball in the opposition’s half of the pitch. We did that against Wrexham.
I enjoyed too except for the clueless tippy-tappy at the back in the first half.
Well done boys – can do better.
COYI
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.
