Which Moyes Ploy Ahoy?

Hammers take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the London Bowl this evening in a game that they really need to win in order to halt the alarming run of recent defeats, the problem being the Seagulls are the South Coast's 'nemesis' for the Irons and have always proved to be obdurate opposition, particularly when Glenn Murray was still playing for them.

Thankfully Murray won't be lining up for Graham potter's side this evening, because he has retired, but those who remain know they have the 'monkey sign' over West Ham and will do their best to exploit their historical superiority. Fresh off the back of a couple of damaging defeats David Moyes has to juggle his 'assets' like never before if he is to negotiate 'Murder Month'.

Although he is going to have a late fitness test, it is unlikely that Aaron Cresswell will start, his place will probably be taken by the versatile Ben Johnson as opposed to Authur Masuaku, due to the fact that 'King Authur' is essentially pants as a defender.

As Moyes is obviously a 'Les' fan, Dawson will start alongside Kurt Zouma and there is a strong possibility that Manu Lnzizni will get the nod ahead of Said Benrahma. In an ideal world Moyes would be able to take Tona Soucek out of the firing line and replace him with Alex Kral, but for some reason the Hammers manager doesn't seem to fancy the Czech Republic International.
