West Ham are back in Europa League action on Thursday and they’ll be keen to continue their great start to life back in Europe.
The London club have won both of their group games so far and a victory here would put them on the brink of qualification to the next round.
Genk are breathing down the Hammers’ necks in Group H and a win here would see the Belgian outfit leapfrog David Moyes’ side.
Moyes will have to field a relatively strong side to get a result here, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Hammers’ starting Xi for this one.
Alphonse Areola starts in goal for this one, while Vladimir Coufal and Ryan Fredericks’ ongoing issues see 21-year-old Ben Johnson start at right-back.
Arthur Masuaku and Craig Dawson also come into the defence, while the reliable partnership of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek start in the midfield.
Manuel Lanzini comes into the attacking line in place of Said Benrahma, while Pablo Fornals occupies the left-wing.
There are no prizes for guessing who starts up top as Michail Antonio gets the nod once again.
