West Ham United take on Watford in the final game of the season and Manuel Pellegrini will have a number of options in terms of team selection.
A win on Sunday could turn West Ham’s average season into a fairly successful one is it could take them as high a 9th in the Premier League table. The Hammers will go into the game high on confidence after back to back victories against Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton in the last two weeks.
Pellegrini’s side have struggled with injuries throughout the season but the Chilean is set to receive a huge boost ahead of the all-important game against Watford at the weekend.
The former Manchester City boss revealed that Samir Nasri is fit to return to the squad on Sunday and the Frenchman could make his first appearance since the 4-3 victory against Huddersfield Town back in March.
Nasri will be playing for his future at the Olympic Stadium and an impressive game against the Hornets could force Pellegrini to hand him a new deal.
The Hammers boss also revealed that Jack Wilshere could start on Sunday after an impressive showing off the bench against Southampton last week. Andriy Yarmolenko has returned to full training but the former Dortmund man isn’t quite ready to feature this season.
Yarmolenko along with Andy Carroll and Winston Reid will be the only absentees for the Hammers with everybody else available at Manuel Pellegrini’s disposal.
A top-half finish could be considered as a fairly successful first season for Pellegrini and a third straight victory in the Premier League would be a perfect way to finish off the season.
