With the all important 2nd leg of the Europa League Cup 1/4 final only days away, David Moyes has a bit of a selection headache for tomorrow's Premier League game against Brentford. With other results going Hammers way it is important that the club try to maintain its push for a top six place while juggling with it's current European obligations.

Thursday evening's opponents Lyon were pushed all the way by ten man West Ham, indeed the home side were able to go one nil up thanks to a lovely Jarrod Bowen goal, scored AFTER Aaron Cresswell had been sent off. The visitors drew level via a goal scored by an on loan Tottingham player, but the pass was provided by Tete, signed as a result of the Ukraine conflict.

Despite referee Felix Swayer's obvious leanings towards awarding every possible decision to Lyon in the game against West Ham last night and his erroneous issuing of a red card to Aaron Cresswell, it is unlikely that the club will appeal the sending off due to the fact that UEFA could view the appeal as 'frivolous' and extend Cresswell's ban.
