**West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo switches to a back five to face Manchester City at London Stadium.**
When Summerville was ruled out of the match tonight, there wasn’t many fans there expected a straight swap with Adama.
And we were correct, the Portuguese manager has opted for two changes in personnel from the win against Fulham.
Konstantinos Mavropanos and Pablo Felipe have replaced Crysencio Summerville and Callum Wilson.
Starting XI: Hermansen; AWB, Todibo, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf; Soucek, Fernandes; Bowen, Castellanos, Pablo.
I’m not sure the back five is the best option, packing the midfield out against Rodri, Bernardo and O’Reilly makes more sense. But then again the first two aren’t quite the players they used to be.
It will be interesting to see how the front three works, will Taty play off the left, or will he play in behind a front two of Bowen and Pablo.
However, it will be more intriguing to see how our back three copes with the firepower of Marmoush, Semenyo, and Haaland. If those three are on fire it could be a long night for the Hammers.
