West Ham expected starting eleven vs Arsenal: Moyes rings changes but Antonio and Zouma in

David Moyes will go into the Arsenal game keeping an eye on the must-win second leg Europa League encounter in Frankfurt in midweek, so the changes are expected.

The Hammers have somewhat stuttered in recent weeks with back to back defeats to Chelsea and Eintracht Frankfurt.

The good news is that they have always responded well whenever they have suffered setbacks and it will be interesting to see how the next two games will go as they are definitely season-defining.

For Arsenal they are in the driving seat of the race for top four even though they still have to play Tottenham in the much anticipated North London derby in recent times.

When David Moyes took over West Ham his immediate job was to rescue the team from relegation and he’s more than excelled and a Europa League semi-final defeat in week was viewed as a massive disappointment, that is how far they have come.

The climb though looks slim and they have to harness new energy and go a step further if they are to secure Champions League football next season.

What began seven months ago now is going to be defined by games against Arsenal and Frankfurt so all Hammers will be looking keenly to how the team navigates these slippery games.

Kurt Zouma returned from an ankle injury that was expected to keep him out for the season and played a key role, it was his header that Antonio nudged in for the leveller in midweek.

So with everything now on board and the Hammers needing a massive result in the next two games, here is how we expect David Moyes to line-up.
