David Moyes could try something he’s never done before after admitting £100k-a-week West Ham United ace is injured.
West Ham play host to AEK Larnaca at the London Stadium tomorrow night for the second leg of our UEFA Europa Conference League last 16 clash.

The Hammers won the first leg 2-0 out in Cyprus last week, and were fairly comfortable throughout the entire 90 minutes.
That win should enable Moyes to try something new tomorrow night.
One player in particular will definitely miss out through injury, and that should present the Scot with a fantastic opportunity to mix things up…
David Moyes has real chance to try something new with West Ham duo
The Scot addressed the media this afternoon and suggested that Michail Antonio will miss the AEK Larnaca clash with a calf injury, as quoted by WHUFC.com:
“Antonio has a bit of a calf injury which he picked up in Cyprus last week.”
The 32-year-old, who earns £100k-a-week according to the Sun, scored both goals for the Hammers against AEK Larnaca last week.
But with him set to miss tomorrow night’s game with a calf injury, Moyes has a great opportunity to try something that I believe will keep West Ham in the Premier League.
Gianluca Scamacca and Danny Ings are two strikers who excel when playing alongside a partner – something that neither of them have been able to do since joining West Ham.
The 24-year-old Italian and the 30-year-old English striker have both enjoyed playing as part of a duo throughout their respective careers to date.
And I believe that they would compliment each other perfectly for the Hammers.
Moyes has always been averse to playing two strikers up top, but he will not get a better opportunity than tomorrow night to see if Scamacca and Ings could work well together.
West Ham should be able to beat AEK Larnaca with ease tomorrow night, regardless of what formation David Moyes selects.
And with the mood at the London Stadium currently at an all-time low, a strike duo of Scamacca and Ings tomorrow would really get some enthusiasm back into the club’s fans.
