West Ham confirmed starting XI for Europa League clash v Sevilla
West Ham have confirmed their starting XI for their Europa League clash this evening (March 10) against Sevilla.
The Hammers will be looking to get off to a positive start for their last 16 double header as they travel to Spain.
Confirmed prior to kick-off on Twitter, David Moyes decided to bring Declan Rice back into the fold after his illness and back Alfonse Areola in goal.
Must win
This is it for the Hammers, everything they have worked hard for all season rests on this game.
They of course still have the Premier League campaign to finish but their Champions League hopes rest on the Europa League with either Arsenal, Tottenham or Manchester United likely to beat them to the top four.
Thank god Rice has returned. Sevilla are a very good footballing team who like to hold a lot of possession so he will be crucial in there, breaking up the play and getting the Irons on the front foot.
Jarrod Bowen will of course be a huge miss, but his fellow teammates must do a job without him and give him the chance to make his impact in the second leg.
Moyes’ side face the most successful team in Europa League – and all its other various names over the years – football and they must play with extreme caution away from home tonight if they have any chance of going through.
In other West Ham news, Jarrod Bowen needs an England call up according to Teddy Sheringham.
