Moyes to rest two regulars but Reid may return

David Moyes looks set to name a strong side for the clash with Gillingham tomorrow but with a noticeable absence of two regulars.

Neither skipper Mark Noble or Aaron Cresswell will travel to the Priestfield which presumably leaves Arthur Masuaku and Carlos Sanchez to full the left-back and midfield positions.

However, the boss may plump for a three at the back formation as we understand that Winston Reid has been included along with Issa Diop, Fabian Balbuena and Angelo Ogbonna.

It seems that the other major players – apart from Michail Antonio – will all be available to the manager as he bid to achieve back to back wins in the first two games on his return to the London Stadium.

We have been told that both Lukasz Fabianski and Roberto will also be travelling to Kent with no decision yet on who will get the nod.

Beyond tomorrow’s team selection there have been rumours doing the rounds that the manager could turn to Joe Cole as a member of his backroom staff.

However, both sources close to the former player claim that there have been no approaches.

Here’s our possible line up: Roberto; Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku; Rice, Sanchez, Snodgrass , Lanzini, Anderson, Haller
