View: West Ham predicted starting XI v Tottenham Hotspur
West Ham boss David Moyes is predicted to make three changes for Sunday’s (March 20) Premier League top four clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Hammers played 120 minutes of football as they beat Sevilla 2-0 in extra time thanks to an Andriy Yarmolenko tap in which will give the Scot a big selection headache.
Ukraine international Yarmolenko is backed to go again after coming on and scoring in two successive games having not long come back from compassionate leave.
His excellent form sees him come in for Said Benrahma on the right-wing, accompanied by Manuel Lanzini in the central attacking role, Pablo Fornals out on the left and as expected, Michail Antonio the clubs only recognised senior striker up top.
Lukasz Fabianski makes his return between the sticks having stepped aside on Thursday for Europa League goalkeeper Alphonse Areola who drops back down to the bench.
Ben Johnson keeps his place in the back four after another very mature performance in his second European knockout game for the club. As does Aaron Cresswell at left-back, a stalwart in the Irons defence.
Kurt Zouma keeps his place at the heart of the Hammers defence but finds himself with a new partner in the shape of Issa Diop. Craig Dawson drops to the bench for a much-need rest after the shift he put in midweek.
There is no surprise in midfield as Thursday’s man of the match Tomas Soucek protects the defence with captain Declan Rice completing the starting line-up.
