David Moyes absolutely must start Danny Ings for the West Ham vs Chelsea clash at the London Stadium this afternoon.
West Ham United welcome Chelsea to East London today for what is a huge game for both sides.

Moyes has a few selection headaches with numerous West Ham players missing through injury.
The same can be said of Chelsea boss Graham Potter, but he has a far stronger squad at his disposal, so Moyes needs to be clever.
And in my opinion, the Scot should start the newest arrival at the London Stadium today…
Moyes must start Danny Ings for West Ham vs Chelsea clash
He is still yet to start a game for West Ham though. In fact, Moyes has given him only 27 minutes of action to date.
Now, we all know that strikers thrive off of their goal record. However, Moyes doesn’t seem to subscribe to this idea, and completely neglects the opportunity to get the best out of new strikers’ ‘honeymoon period’, immediately after they’ve joined.
The same thing happened with Gianluca Scamacca. Moyes gives his new signings the odd few minutes here and there and that becomes a big problem for forward players. Should Ings not start again today and be given 10 or 15 minutes game-time that will then read as three games and no goals.
Moyes has to realise that in order to get the best out of strikers, he needs to give them the best possible platform to succeed.
The Scot will undoubtedly drop Said Benrahma today after his poor showing against Newcastle last weekend, so why not bring Ings into the side?
The 30-year-old could then form a front three flanked by Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen. Those three forwards would undoubtedly give Chelsea all sorts of problems. And it would at least provide Ings with a very good chance to get off the mark in a Hammers shirt.
The ex-Villa ace has been described as ‘unreal’ by The Sun journalist last Tom Barkley. He has the ability to make a huge difference for us between now and the end of the season.
And in my opinion, the West Ham vs Chelsea clash is the perfect time for Moyes to throw Danny Ings into the starting lineup.
