Moyes set to name full strength team

|

The Hammers are facing four days when we they have two games which most will PERHAPS  be expecting us to win.

Astonishingly, by Tuesday evening the Hammers could have 32 points in the bag if they can complete two London Stadium victories over Burnley tomorrow and West Brom on Tuesday.

It also means we are likely to see Moysie using his squad in much the same way as he did over the holiday period when we gained drawa at shome and away to Brighton and Southampton  and win at Goodison.

With Tomas Soucek and Pablo Fornals rested for the win at Stockport I would expect to see both back against Sean Dyche’s outfit and – despite appearing in that game – Vladimir Coufal to be continuing at right back.

Issa Diop has been in training this week after report but will probably miss out to Craig Dawson and Fabian Balbuena will also probably be missing after a period of self isolation.

The visitors have lost two of their last three Premier League games and there’s so much incentive for the Hammers with three clean sheets behind them and the chance to have 29 points in the bag by the end of tomorrow.

After that we await the return of Sam Allardyce and Grady Diangana for the match against West Brom.

Our likely team for the Burnley match: Fabianski; Couval, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Bowen, Rice, Soucek, Benrahma, Fornals, Antonio.

    Burnley played really well against ManU. This will not be a walkover as they are fast, tough and driven. I think we have the better squad, at least defensively, so play to our strengths.
    Would like us to have 3 at the back.
