West Ham XI vs Brighton: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League game
David Moyes has confirmed Said Benrahma is likely to be fit for West Ham season’s finale against Brighton on Sunday.
The midfielder scored twice in the win over Norwich before suffering an ankle injury, though is expected to come through for the last game of the season.
Issa Diop, however, is still suffering from an ankle problem of his own and will miss the game and Angelo Ogbonna remains a long-term injury absentee.
Declan Rice, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen will surely all start as West Ham look to break into the top six.
While a return to European football has already been secured with a Conference League berth, a win and a Manchester United loss at Crystal Palace would take Moyes’ side back into the Europa League.
Mark Noble will also play in some capacity, though Moyes has revealed he will not be dictated to by emotion on that front as the club legend prepares for his last game.
West Ham predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Dawson, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Lanzini, Fornals, Bowen; Antonio
Doubt: Diop (ankle)
Injured: Ogbonna (knee)
