Massive test for us again this one and much will depend on how well we negate Payet who is arguably instrumental in everything positive about West Ham going forward.

Think you've got it pretty spot on Pinky with perhaps the only caveat being Lamela or Chadli.

Agree with original poster lineup, the West Ham team will be interesting. We didnt face Payet last time, but quite a few of their first choice defenders are possibly out, i.e., Reid, Tomkins, Byram.

So it could be a back 4 of Antonio Ogbonna Collins Creswell. Still not bad but we should be able to create chances if we play to our level.

If they play like they did against Sunderland it "should" be a doddle.

Just about playing our way quieting the crowd and not giving them anything to get up for. And that team pinky suggests should have enough. (fingers crossed)

Maybe Poch should have a word with Alli for our next two matches as they'll be targeting him no doubt. I'm sure that mouthy little Tommy Steele look a like mark Noble will be on the wind up...

Lloris; Trippier, Toby, Wimmer, Davies; Dier, Mason; Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli; Kane

I think Alli could use a rest and think Son as an option off the bench could be a match winner.

I wish we could rest some other guys but don't see it being reasonable without risking a loss.

Also, West Ham haven't lost at home since August 22nd. Quite the run and it's going to take one of our best performances to buck that trend.

I'm sure Alli can hold his own when it comes to any wind ups. Maybe ask the little prick Noble all about his England caps...oh wait

Lamela Eriksen Chadli
Kane

Vorm Walker Rose Bentaleb Alli Onomah Son

Obviously if Dembele or Carroll are fit then they come in for Ononah​

Dier will be critical to stopping Payet but it's hard not to be worried about the volume of football he is having to play.

Dier is not getting through to April without picking up two cards so he should work his tail off the next two games and pick his two spots very tactically and take the Villa and Bournemouth games off. His control against Payet and which ever scum is playing the ten role is absolutely vital. Alli could use a break but he can stay home from Dortmund for that because you know the ref made up that reason. Alli Lamela and Eriksen are our most fluid three behind Kane and they will have a good time with a soft West Ham middle. If Payet plays up the middle Dier will be huge but either full back especially whoever plays on Wimmer's side will be important.

Poch saying some of the players are tired. Would have to imagine that Alli and Dier would be feeling it most given the minutes they've played over the last week or so. Perhaps Eriksen as well.

If it is Alli and dier then I wouldn't be surprised to see Alli on the bench, given 20-30 minutes at the end.

Wouldn't be too surprised to see Mason and Bentaleb start in the middle against Spam. I'm sure Davies and Trippier will start, and maybe Chadli.

The front 3 behind kane I believe will be Chadli, eriksen and lamela

I think Mason will come in, and obviously new full backs

Apart from eriksen that should keep us fairly fresh

Yeah think Chadli will start as well now after hearing Poch's comments.
