West Ham starting lineup vs TSC Backa Topola confirmed as the Hammers look to keep top stop in Europa League Group A in their destiny.
TSC Backa Topola play host to West Ham in the Europa League tonight out in Serbia, and three points are very much needed with Freiburg breathing down our necks in Group A.
Hammers boss David Moyes has made a whole host of changes to his starting lineup from the team that beat Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday.
West Ham are in the midst of a decent run of form, having won our last three games in a row in all competitions.
And nothing less than a win will do tonight, if we want to qualify as winners of Group A.
West Ham starting lineup vs TSC Backa Topola confirmed
Moyes has made seven changes from the Premier League win over Burnley five days ago, as confirmed via UEFA’s official website.
Fabianski, Johnson, Cresswell, Mavropanos, Fornals, Benrahma and Mubama all come into the side, and tonight will be a big chance for some of the fringe players to impress Hammers boss Moyes.
Here’s how West Ham will line up out in Serbia tonight:
Lukasz Fabianski, Ben Johnson, Aaron Cresswell, Nayef Aguerd, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek, James Ward-Prowse, Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma, Divin Mubama
I’m fairly confident that we will win the game tonight, in spite of the sheer volume of changes that Moyes has made.
A victory will see us through to the lockout stages of the Europa League. However, if Freiburg win tonight as well, we would then have to do no worse than draw with the Bundesliga side at the London Stadium next month in order to finish in top spot, and subsequently avoid a play-off tie with the teams dropping out of the Champions League.
It’s a very big game for us tonight, and I’m hoping that the West Ham starting lineup selected by Moyes has enough about it to get the job done.
