“Start on the bench” prediction as Nuno plays safe | West Ham v Leeds United

Nuno’s calls are huge today as Leeds contest a semi final place at Wembley in three weeks’ time. [West Ham](https://www.claretandhugh.info/summerville-will-have-fitness-test-west-ham-vs-leeds-united-preview-predicted-score-line-ups/) have their vital Premier League run-in ahead so does he choose to ‘risk’ the fitness of **Crysencio Summerville, Dinos Mavropanos** and **Jean-Clair Todibo**, all of whom have been missing from their last games.

With the home advantage on West Ham’s side the Portuguese coach has to decide whether to throw caution to the wind and play both Castellanos and Pablo as two strikers with two wingers along side them and a two-man midfield, or whether to revert to type and start three in the midfield and three forwards.

_(Let’s not even think about playing a back three, Nuno!)_

_Summerville will start on the bench – C and H prediction_

As a prediction we’d see the line up as a cautious one: Summerville if he passes his late fitness test will probably start on the bench and be an option late on or in extra time if needed. So subject to fitness, we’d predict the _starting eleven as:_

Areola | Walker-Peters, Disasi, Mavropanos, Diouf | Fernandes Soucek Potts | Bowen Pablo Castellanos

Gonzo 2 – 1 West Ham

Matt 2 -2 West Ham win on penalties

Martin 2-1 Supersub Summerville scores in extra time

Sean 1-0 West Ham
