Defence

Lukasz Fabianski was absolute beast against Brighton making impressive saves.No doubt why he is thefirst choice goalkeeper ahead of Alphonse Areola. Right-back Vladimir Coufal did well but might besacrified for Emerson Palmieri.

The centre-back duo of Max Kilman and Dinos Mavropanos remain intact.However, the latter did give a silly freekickwhich costed a goal.No change at the left-back position as Aaron Wan-Bissaka continues to provide his services.

Midfield

Edson Alvarez is once again playing as the defensive midfielder in the side with Thomas Soucek operating alongside him.

However, Carlos Soler will miss this game as he picked his fifth yellow card of the season.His position in the midfield could be filled by Lucas Paqueta, who played on the right wing last time.

Attack

Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus are to be deployed in the offensive areas from where they can find the back of the net. Interestingly, Julen Lopetegui is likely to use Niclas Fullkrug as the striker as the player was impressive coming off the bench last week.

Michail Antonio (car accident), Jean-Clair Todibo (groin) and Carlos Soler (suspension) are unavailable for the Hammers.
