How West Ham United could line up against Leeds United

How West Ham could line up against Leeds

West Ham United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Leeds United to the London Stadium on Monday night.

The Hammers, who are currently sixth in the table, will again be without the services of Arthur Masuaku, Angelo Ogbonna and Andriy Yarmolenko for the contest through injury.

Ryan Fredericks is also a doubt with a groin problem, but head coach David Moyes will be hopeful that number one goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski overcomes an arm injury in time for the contest.

Fabianski's return is even more important for West Ham considering that the club's number two Darren Randolph could be unavailable for selection due to a hip problem.

Moyes is expected to change his formation from the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last time out, with the capital giants likely to revert to a back four, meaning that Ben Johnson could miss out on a spot.

Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice will again operate in the middle of the park, while a change of formation would allow an extra attacker to come into the side, with Jarrod Bowen in line to return.

Said Benrahma and Manuel Lanzini are options in the final third of the field, but Michail Antonio will lead an attack which should also include Jesse Lingard and Pablo Fornals.

West Ham possible starting lineup: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Lingard, Fornals; Antonio
