West Ham United's best starting eleven

[Barty]

Areola Coufal Zouma Mavropanos Emerson Alvarez Prowse Fornals Paqueta Bowen Kudus The front 3 exchanging positions throughout the match

[Barty]

"Fornals wol flourish in centre midfield and Kudus will surprice with his versatility , could see him becoming or 3rd converted striker under Moyes"

[LAF]

"In these more sophisticated times, surely the best 11 is outmoded. Depends on the opposition, to a degree. Soucek, for example, got more shouts to start yesterday than in recent times due to the obvious bombardment from City. Next week, maybe different. And let’s not forget players like Ogbonna. Getting on a bit, yes - but when does he ever let us down when he plays?"

No Antonio? Fornals? Have you been smoking something?

[Dandy Lyon]

"I’d bet my wife and kid on you not having seen more than one full 90 mins of Mavropanos play, if that. Same for Kudus. That is a terrible starting lineup"

Then add Marcos Leonardo into the mix in the January window https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcos_Leonardo
