West Ham United confirmed starting XI v Genk
West Ham United have confirmed their starting XI for their Europa League clash against Genk this evening.
David Moyes has brought in the likes of Andriy Yarmolenko and Manuel Lanzini into his line up for the clash.
Confirmed on their Twitter account prior to kick-off, the Irons have rested the likes of Michail Antonio in the final third.
It has been a brilliant start to life in the Europa League.
The Irons ended the transfer window superbly in the summer and added some much-needed depth to their squad.
Alphonse Areola provides great competition for Lukasz Fabianski, and there are now more options in defence.
That is good given that the likes of Vladimir Coufal are now out injured, and that depth helps given that Ben Johnson is here.
Nikola Vlasic will also be out to prove himself at the London Stadium, having not done so since arriving from CSKA Moscow.
One foot in.
Given our two wins in the competition already, another three points here would all-but-secure our place in the knockout stages.
The Irons need to seal that top spot in the group so they can get the easier draw in that stage, and we expect that to happen.
Moyes will be wanting his rotation players to step up and prove that they can do it in the Premier League too.
Looking at the likes of Vlasic and Yarmolenko, goals for both of those could make it hard for him to ignore them.
Big performance needed.
