Moyes won’t take his foot of pedal for Fulham

|

Fredericks may miss out against former club

David Moyes is unlikely to take his foot off the pedal for the away game at Fulham tomorrow night at 5.30pm.

The relegation strugglers sit eight points from safety in the Premier League and were very much second best in the 2-0 defeat at Leicester City in their last game.

With points from just two wins and eight draws this season, they look to be there for the taking – oh that life was so simple and be assured Moysie will be entirely unmoved by the stats.

Cottagers boss Scotty Parker is a fighter and will be looking for a precious win against the club he served so well as a player.

With no new injuries to contend with expect the Hammers boss to put out a full strength team although – despite a fine performance at Villa – Ryan Fredericks can probably expect to miss out.

However, he may be involved if unless the boss believes Vladimir Coufal may need a rest ahead of the FA Cup clash at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

Here’s my expected team: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Oggy, Cresswell; Bowen, Rice, Soucek, Benrahma, Lingard, Antonio.
