David Moyes has reverted to a back four for the must-win clash with Lyon in the Europa League this evening.

The Irons need to win the game to reach the semi-finals, where they would face either Barcelona or Eintracht Frankfurt.

As always, Alphonse Areola has returned in goal in place of Lukasz Fabianski.

And in defence, Kurt Zouma is absent through injury after the defeat to Brentford at the weekend.

In his place is Issa Diop, with Craig Dawson partnering him at centre-back.

Vlad Coufal pays at right-back, while Ben Johnson is drafted in at left-back to replace the suspended Aaron Cresswell.

In midfield, Declan Rice joins Tomas Soucek; if the England international is booked, and West Ham win, he will miss the semi-final.

Pablo Fornals, Manuel Lanzini, and Jarrod Bowen provide support to Mikey Antonio up front.

Full West Ham XI: Areola; Coufal, Diop, Dawson, Johnson; Rice, Soucek; Fornals, Lanzini, Bowen; Antonio. Subs: Fabianski, Randolph, Alese, Masuaku, Fredericks, Noble, Kral, Chesters, Perkins, Yarmolenko, Benrahma, Vlasic. 

Full Lyon XI: Pollersbeck, Gusto, Denayer, Lukeba, Emerson, Faivre, Mendes, Ndombele, Ekambi, Aouar, Dembele. OL subs: Bonnevie, Lucas Paqueta, Kadewere, Dubois, Keita, Tete, Da Silva, Reine-Adelaide, Barcola, Boateng, Barcola.
