With 29o Claret and Hugh readers voting in the people’s choice starting XI the results are now in for Monday’s game against Chelsea
Fabianski is in goal with a near-maximum of 288 votes.
The backline consists of Aaron Cresswell 287 votes, Angelo Ogbonna 288 votes, Fabian Balbuena 266 and Vladimir Coufal 282.
Arthur Masuaku and Michail Antonio are out injured.
Issa Diop 40 votes, Ben Johnson 18 votes, Ryan Fredericks 6 votes and Craig Dawson 0 votes all fail to make the grade
Declan Rice gets an impressive near-maximum 289 votes and looks odds-on to captain to Hammers with Tomas Soucek also on 288 votes.
In midfield is Said Benrahma 275 votes Pablo Fornals 182 votes, Seb Haller 216 votes and Jarrod Bowen with 285 votes
Manuel Lanzini 95 votes, Robert Snodgrass 16 votes, Yarmolenko 95 votes and Mark Noble 1 vote all fail to make the cut.
West Ham Starting XI Fabianksi, Cresswell, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Coufal, Rice, Soucek, Benrahma, Fornals, Bowen, Haller
Subs: Randolph, Holland, Fredericks, Lanzini, Noble, Yarmolenko, Diop
I know that this is just a bit of fun – but the subs are often completely unrelated to the poll – perhaps just give the chosen first XI – I don’t think that Moyes will base his selection on this (or any other) post
I will be shocked to see Benrhama start. On the bench, Lanzini on the pitch.
Your right Doug Holland not ready for first team selection yet but it will be great to see him back in the squad.
Holland just back from injury and nowhere near selection yet. Where is Snoddy?
