Unkindly named by some as ‘El Sackio II’ , following Eric ten Hag’s dismissal after losing at London Stadium earlier this autumn, Woverhampton Wanderers and under threat manager Gary O’Neil come visiting [West Ham United](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-hams-aldi-manager-hunt-highlights-buy-cheap-buy-twice-philosophy/) tonight.
In Julen Lopetegui’s latest ‘must-win’ game (on the basis that sooner or later he ‘must-win’ one of them)- his team selections are hamstrung by the reports of dressing room divisions and ‘claims’ that at least one player – Jean-Clair Todibo – has been banished from the first team training ground. With Michail Antonio in hospital, Lopetegui must choose either to start Ings or recovering Niclas Fullkrug – either than or move captain Jarrod Bowen to the striker role with Kudus and Summerville on the wings.
_7.45 and the starting eleven has just been announced_: Niclas Fullkrug and Danny Ings both start on the bench and, interestingly, _there is a place on the bench also for Jean Clair Todibo ._
**Big Calls Made:** Lopetegui has gone with Jarrod Bowen as a central striker and Lucas Paquetá again not in the starting XI.
**West Ham United:**
Fabianski | Wan Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson | Alvarez, Soler, Soucek | Kudus, Bowen , Summerville
