The line-up….or will Slav spring surprises?

Slaven Bilic looks to have a straightforward selection job on his hands this weekend although this man always has the ability to spring a surprise or two.

With Aaron Cresswell suspended it will be a surprise if he doesn’t return to a flat back four with Angelo Ogbonna switching to the left back role.

Havard Nortveidt looks set to some in at right back with probably Cheik Kouyate partnering the highly impressive Winston Reid at central defence.

Kouyate has always had the ability to play well at the back and with Pedro Obiang in impressive form it allows him to join Antonio, Noble, and Lanzini in midfield.

With Payet playing behind Zaza, this looks Slav’s strongest line up as we continue to await the return of and Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho.

Hammers (likely line up): Adrian; Nortveidt, Kouyate, Reid Ogbonna; Antonio, Noble, Obiang, Lanzini, Payet, Zaza.
