It was all relatively quiet on the West Ham front apart from the post match fall out from the Palace game which essentially kissed goodbye to any hope of another season's European football, save various rumours about David Moyes' contract.

Hey presto, there are suddenly a plethora of Moyes replacement names appearing all over the press! The most high profile of which being Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, he allegedly flew into London for talks regarding him replacing Moyes.

Creating Memorable Experiences for the Young Fans Taking your kids to a West Ham game is more than just a trip to watch football; it's a chance to build memories that stick with them for life. From the buzz in the streets leading to the stadium to the collective roar when the Hammers score, the atmosphere is electric. But how can you make sure that the youngest fans have an experience that’s as exciting off
the pitch as it is on it? Here’s how to create a family day at West Ham that’s unforgettable for the right reasons.

Palace: Henderson, Clyne, Richards, Andersen ©, Mitchell, Muñoz, Wharton, Hughes, Olise, Eze, Mateta Subs: Matthews (GK), Ward, Holding, Tomkins, Schlupp, Riedewald, Ahamada, Ayew, Édouard

David Moyes takes his battle weary troops across London to Selhurst Park to face a Palace team rejuvenated by the arrival of manager Oliver Glasner who replaced the ageing Roy Hodgon mid season.

Austrian Glasner was most recently in charge of Eintracht Frankfurt before leaving the Bundesliga club last summer so he and Moyes have already clashed in European competition. Their encounter was 'feisty' to say the least, so perhaps there will be a little more passion shown by the dour Scot on the touch line!

Recently every time West Ham have had the chance to 'nail on' a European place for next season via the club's Premier League placement, fate and ineffectuality have conspired to blow the situation, none more so than Sunday's inept showing against London rivals Fulham.

There are those who would argue that the travails of playing Leverkusen on the preceding Thursday evening were just too much for what is a wafer thin squad, in a way they would be correct, but why is the squad so limited?

West Ham: Fabianski, Coufal, Mavropanos, Aguerd, Emerson Palmieri, Ward-Prowse, Alvarez, Kudus, Ings, Lucas Paqueta, Antonio Subs: Johnson, Cresswell, Zouma, Cornet, Ogbonna, Soucek, Earthy, Mubama, Anang
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson, Joao Palhinha, Lukic, Iwobi, Andreas Pereira, Willian, Rodrigo Muniz Subs: Rodak, Reed, Jimenez, Wilson, Broja, Cairney, Traore, De Cordova-Reid, Diop

It cannot get much worse if you believe all the doom and gloom emanating from West Ham ahead of Thursday's Europa League 1/4 final against Leverkusen. The most damning is the injury speculation regarding Jarrod Bowen, with the striker apparently ruled out of the game.

There are also doubts about Lucas Paqueta AND others and to top it all off Edson Alvarez is banned for the game, all in a all a potential disaster awaits David Moyes and it is a situation that is very difficult to take ANY positives from.

Once more unto the breach!
