Although David Moyes is expected to make five changes from West Ham for Arsenal, injuries cast uncertainty on his starting lineup.
What proverb states that the best laid plans…
“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry,” as Robert Burns famously observed, seems especially fitting for West Ham and David Moyes at this time.
The Hammers had a fantastic start to the season across the board, riding the high of their triumphant European run.
With his team selections, Moyes once again seemed to be striking the ideal mix between Europe and the Premier League.
And all was well in the garden of West Ham.
Then, after three losses in a row, black clouds are once more looming on the horizon after a span of seven days.
Although West Ham has not experienced any significant injury problems thus far, the decline in their performance and outcomes indicates that even with meticulous planning, unforeseen events can still occur. and quickly.
What then should be done regarding the Gunners squad as the London rivals compete to advance to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals?
We estimate that Moyes will make five changes from West Ham for Arsenal, but injuries cast uncertainty on the starting lineup.
Choosing the starting lineup Moyes uses for Declan Rice’s comeback to the London Stadium tonight is a difficult one.
Not least of all since Moyes disclosed that he is doubtful about “one or two” mysterious injuries for the match.
That has cast doubt on his starting lineup for the match. This increased the difficulty of our task of forecasting it.
However, this is the lineup we believe West Ham will field against Arsenal, albeit with the disclaimer that we are unsure of the injured players as of yet.
Given that Edson Alvarez and Lucas Paqueta are suspended for the Premier League match this coming Saturday, assuming they are not injured, they ought to start.
In our opinion, Tomas Soucek, Thilo Kehrer, Emerson, Konstantinos Mavropanos, and Lukasz Fabianski will rejoin the squad to take on the Gunners.
Furthermore, if fit, we believe Mohammed Kudus or Jarrod Bowen might start at the front.
Aguerd, Emerson, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus, Bowen, Fabianski, Kehrer, Mavropanos, and so on.
