West Ham starting lineup vs Manchester United confirmed:
Alphonse Areola, Ben Johnson, Nayef Aguerd, Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson Palmieri, Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek, Michail Antonio, Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma
West Ham United head to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup tonight.
Man United have already won a trophy this season and will be flying high on confidence. Meanwhile, the Hammers won 4-0 last time out against Nottingham Forest, so David Moyes’s men should be in good spirits too.
West Ham haven’t won a major trophy since 1980, and the fans are desperate for our club to end that 43-year wait.
The important thing will be for us to take the game to Man United and not put 10 men behind the ball. Surely Moyes has now realised that that just doesn’t work…
West Ham lineup vs Man United confirmed
David Moyes has made four changes from the win over Forest at the London Stadium on Saturday.
In come Alphonse Areola, Emerson Palmieri, Pablo Fornals and Michail Antonio in place of Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, Jarrod Bowen and Danny Ings.
Tonight’s game is an absolutely huge one for the Hammers. It would mean so much to me and all of our fans if we made it through to the quarter-finals.
43 years without a trophy for a club of our size is quite simply not acceptable.
This could very well be our time. Moyes has selected a West Ham lineup that gives us a good chance of causing an upset against Manchester United.
Now it’s over to the players to get the job done. COYI X
