Slav looking for goals – likely team

|

zaza2Slaven Bilic looks to Simone Zaza to continue his improved form as the Irons go in search of some much required goals this afternoon against Sunderland.

Zaza heads into the sixth match of his Hammers loan spell, just eight away from where the automatci transfer from Juventus is triggered.

And although he looked a better proposition at Paalce it’s goals everybody is looking for from a man who will cost £20 million should the move become permanent.

With Aaaron Cresswell out through suspension, Slav is likely to retrn to a flat back four with the word being that Ogbonna will move into the left back role and Notveidt coming in at right back alongside Kouyate and Reid.

Antonio, Noble, Obian and Lanzini lookset to be the midfield quartet with Payet tucked in gehin the Italian striker.

Likely team: Adrian; Nortveidt, Reid, Kouyate, Ogbonna; Antonio, Noble, Obiang, Lanzini, Payet, Zaza.

However, the manager is never predictable and may have a suprise or two up his sleeve.
