Moyes could make nine changes on Sunday

David Moyes could make nine changes from Wednesday night’s win at the London Stadium to return to almost the same starting lineup that beat Spurs last Sunday.

Mid-week the starting lineup looked like this which resulted in a 5-3 win over City on penalties in the Carabao Cup fourth round.

West Ham starting lineup: Areola, Johnson, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Soucek, Noble, Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Masuaku, Vlasic,

Michail Antonio and Delcan Rice were completely rested while Vlasic, Lanzini, Masuaku and Yarmolenko were replaced by Benrahma, Coufal, Fornals and Bowen after the 60-minute mark.

Moyes faces a dilemma whether to include Vladimir Coufal or stick with Ben Johnson but he could well opt to give the young man a well-deserved rest for the Midlands

This could be the likely starting lineup at Villa Park on Sunday

West Ham predicted starting XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Benrahma,  Fornals, Antonio
