Well Hammers season has come down to the pinning of hopes on overturning a 2-1 deficit against Frankfurt in Thursday evening's 2nd leg of the UEFA Europa League semi final. Pursuing glory on both domestic and European fronts has proved to be a bit too much for the Premier League's 2nd smallest squad.

Yesterday's capitulation to Arsenal was a clear illustration, by trying to ensure a couple of players didn't have to play the entire 90 minutes, David Moyes put out a team that was always going to be vulnerable against an attack minded side like the North Londoners.

West Ham: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Cresswell, Fredericks, Noble (c), Rice, Fornals, Bowen, Benrahma, Lanzini. Subs: Areola (GK), Yarmolenko, Antonio, Vlasic, Diop, Masuaku, Soucek, Kral, Alese.
Arsenal: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tavares, Elneny, Xhaka (c), Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Nketiah. Subs: Leno (GK), Lacazette, Smith Rowe, Cedric, Pepe, Lokonga, Kirk, Salah-Eddine, Swanson.

Hammers manager David Moyes has a bit of a selection conundrum to deal with for today's clash against London rivals Arsenal, with the 2nd leg of the Europa League semi final scheduled for Thursday evening Moyes has to make some big, big decisions.
