"Magical" £100k-p/w ace starts and Areola axed in 2 changes: West Ham predicted XI - opinion

West Ham United turn their attention back to Premier League duties today as they travel to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, following Thursday night’s famous victory over Sevilla which saw them progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

David Moyes’ side are well within a chance of qualifying for Europe, currently sixth in the table ahead of the trip to north London. They are level on points with Spurs, who sit one place behind then but have a game in hand.

The fixture could probe to be of immense importance for both teams’ seasons, so Moyes will be keen to retain as many of those who played on Thursday as possible. However, having played just three days ago, the Scotsman will surely make some changes today.

Here is how Football FanCast thinks the Hammers will line up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this afternoon, with two changes predicted from the win over Sevilla.

There is a change in between the sticks as Lukasz Fabianski takes over from cup ‘keeper Alphonse Areola, who has deputised for cup and European games this season.

The Poland international has missed just Premier League match this season, keeping seven clean sheets in the process, and he is still Moyes preferred choice in goal.

There are no changes at the back after a colossal shift from all four defenders on Thursday, keeping a clean sheet against Sevilla, who are flying in La Liga.

Moreover, there are no changes in midfield as the partnership of Declan Rice and Tomas Souček once again proved a treat last time out, with the latter scoring the Irons’ first goal on Thursday night. Furthermore, with the presence of Manuel Lanzini, the midfield also has some attacking quality which could prove particularly useful on the counterattack.

As expected,
