West Ham United will hope to move further clear of the Premier League’s relegation zone when they take on Manchester City on Wednesday evening at the Etihad Stadium (8:00pm kick-off)
West Ham United manager David Moyes will be without two players for Wednesday’s Premier League meeting with Manchester City.
The Hammers will be hoping for a return to winning ways, or at least end their two-match losing streak when they take on Pep Guardiola’s side, sitting four points clear of the Premier League’s relegation zone with only five games to spare.
Ahead of the game, Moyes did not confirm any fresh absentees, but two players are guaranteed to be absent.
Striker Gianluca Scamacca is expected to miss the rest of the season after recently undergoing knee surgery.
Another player who will miss out is centre-back Kurt Zouma, who was forced off early on in the 4-3 defeat to Crystal Palace after suffering an ankle ligament injury. Ahead of the trip to Manchester City, Moyes said that while Zouma’s expected length of absence was unclear, Moyes expected him to be unavailable for “a few weeks.”
For the last two away games against Palace and Bournemouth, West Ham had a full 20-man squad of senior players, while goalkeeper Joseph Anang and defender Ben Johnson did travel with the Hammers, but did not make the official matchday squad. One of them at least is expected to make the bench with Zouma now out, but West Ham are likely to take all of their senior players available to the game, with a maximum of only 21 available.
Here is a look at who could feature for the Hammers against the Sky Blues.
Full West Ham United squad available to face Manchester City
Goalkeepers : Lukasz Fabianski, Alphonse Areola, Joseph Anang.
Defenders : Vladimir Coufal, Ben Johnson, Angelo Ogbonna, Thilo Kehrer, Nayef Aguerd, Aaron Cresswell, Emerson.
Midfielders/wingers : Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek, Lucas Paqueta, Flynn Downes, Jarrod Bowen, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma, Maxwel Cornet.
Forwards : Danny Ings, Michail Antonio.
