Predicted line-up: David Moyes to make two big changes to West Ham side for Man United

David Moyes looks set to make two big changes to his West Ham United side against Manchester United this evening.

David Moyes admits big frustration with West Ham striker situation

West Ham can go three points behind the second-placed Red Devils WITH a game in hand if they win.

Hammers hopes have been raised as Man United look set to field a depleted team with seven players out with injury.

Moyes has admitted he his some mystery injury issues of his own.

But in typical Moyes fashion, the Scot has played those cards close to his chest.

With the uncertainty over the injury situation it is tough to select a predicted team.

One thing we do know is that star man Jesse Ligard won’t feature as per Premier League rules.

Moyes looks set to make two big changes to the West Ham side to face Man United.

And he will revert to a wingback system – as West Ham did recently against Manchester City and in last month’s FA Cup tie against the Red Devils.

That will mean Said Benrahma keeps his starting spot and will play more centrally in place of Lingard and in support of Michail Antonio.

Johnson has been brilliant for West Ham in some of his appearances this season.

But he was poor on the ball at left wingback against Man City.

He will have to be on his game at Old Trafford, though, with Mason Greenwood likely to be up against him on that side.

Benrahma goes into the game with some sage advice from Moyes ringing in his ears.

The Scot wants Benrahma to stop trying to force things in the search for his first West Ham goal.

Ball retention and his link play between midfield and Antonio will be the key tonight, though.

Aaron Cresswell will drop into the back three alongside Craig Dawson and Issa Diop with Vladimir Coufal at right wingback.

Predicted West Ham starting XI to face Man United (pending mystery injury worries):

Fabianski, Johnson, Cresswell, Dawson, Diop, Coufal, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Benrahma, Antonio.
