Facundo Bounanotte is in the starting line-up. The Argentinian has waited patiently for this to happen. He can become the difference today. To get anything away to West Ham would be a major positive.
The eleven picked makes space for Jannik Vestergaard, partnering Wout Faes. Caleb Okoli is back at the bench. James Justin also makes the team. Woyo Coulibaly is out and not included on the bench.
The game starts in an hour. We hope to see a team having some sort of fighting spirit. We believe this is crucial. This will be what fans are looking for, players who fight for the ball and are in the moment.
West Ham have players absent, but still manage to bring a quality line-up. Paqueta is out. The Irons are also missing Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug, along with Michail Antonio.
Starting West Ham XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Cresswell, Scarles, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Bowen, Kudus Subs: Fabianski, Soler, Mavropanos, Guilherme, Ings, Rodriguez, Emerson, Ferguson, Irving

Very little hope of any points today. Positives are that Vestergaard and Bounanotte is back in the line-up. Both players are a better fit than others being used from start in the past.
We have seen different levels of press from Steve Cooper and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Using Vestergaard and Bounanotte would possibly see a lower line and a more controlled and balanced defensive set up.
