West Ham United's season ended with an insipid performance against an Aston Villa team fighting for their Barclays Premier League survival, in a way it was to be expected given the fact that David Moyes' men were completely safe from relegation heading in to the final game. One unique aspect of project restart was the option of using up to five substitutes, a facility the West Ham manager used sparsely, however having so many players available did put the spotlight on the strength of various team's benches, and West Ham's was eye watering!

West Ham: Fabianski, Johnson, Diop, Ogbonna, Fredericks, Noble, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Bowen, Antonio Subs: Randolph, Balbuena, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Lanzini, Wilshere, Haller, Silva, Coventry
Aston Villa: Reina, Guilbert, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Hourihane, McGinn, Luiz, Grealish, Trezeguet, Samatta Subs: Nyland, Taylor, Lansbury, Nakamba, El Ghazi, Jota, Hause, Vassilev, Davis

Ahead of this afternoon's game against Aston Villa on the final day of the Barclays Premier League, Hammers fans will be in the unique position of NOT fearing the outcome. For the first time in this truncated and topsy turvy season, one group of viewers who wear claret and blue will be able to watch the match with absolutely no fear, whereas the other group will go through the Mill, and then some!
