Moyes offers team news

|
Manu Lanzini appears to have been ruled out of tomorrow evening’s match at the Hawthorns against West Bromwich Albion.
The midfielder has failed to recover from a hip injury and now looks likely to be ruled out for the final games of the season.
However, with Declan Rice fit, the squad is in good shape according to manager David Moyes as they approach the penultimate game of the season.
In a brief pre match presser Moyes gave the Lanzini news and made it clear that despite former Hammers boss Sam Allardyce’s team having been relegated he was  expecting a tough game at the Hawthorns.
And this could even be BFS’s last game but one at the club having revealed  that he will give a statement on whether he is remaining as Baggies boss after the final game of the season.
Moyes meanwhile knows this is a game we dare not lose if we are to be involved in Europe next season.
He told the press conference: “We still have a problem with Manuel Lanzini, but most of the squad are okay. 

It will be disrespectful to think that any club who had been relegated would not be working as hard, just look at Sheffield United the other night.”
