West Ham United confirm starting XI for clash v Brentford
West Ham United have confirmed their starting XI for their Premier League fixture with Brentford on December 29 with three changes made.
David Moyes has decided to make three changes to his starting XI with Angelo Ogbonna, Gianluca Scamacca and Emerson Palmieri coming into the team to start.
As confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, with Moyes desperately needing a win he dropped Michail Antonio, Thilo Kehrer and Tomas Soucek from the starting XI.
Do or die.
The December 30 fixture against Brentford really is do or die for Moyes and West Ham United, nothing less than three points is needed.
Questions surrounding the Scots leadership are already being raised and a second successive defeat could cause trouble for Moyes.
Although the Hammers aren’t being helped right now by a mountain of injuries this is something that is part and parcel of the Premier League.
With luck, a solid win against Brentford will spark a bit of change at the London Stadium, the team need some good luck to fall their way at the moment.
Players like Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta really need to step up things, their class and raw talent will be needed to drag the Irons out of this potential relegation scrap.
A strong finish to 2022 is all that fans ask, 2023 can be a clean slate for West Ham United and potentially Moyes.
