West Ham Europa League starting lineup vs Backa Topola confirmed
West Ham Europa League starting lineup vs Backa Topola confirmed as the Hammers look to kick off our European campaign in style.
David Moyes will guide his West Ham side into a third consecutive European campaign this season tonight, with a home game against Serbian outfit Backa Topola our first challenge in Europa League Group A.
The Hammers were successful in the Europa Conference League last season with a 2-1 win against Fiorentina in the final – a result that secured our entry into the Europa League.
Because of that triumph, there has been a real feel-good factor emanating from the London Stadium, and despite the defeat to Manchester City on Saturday, there’s no reason why that won’t continue tonight.
We should beat the Serbian side, but Moyes and the players cannot afford to be complacent, that’s for sure…
West Ham Europa League starting XI vs Backa Topola
Lukasz Fabianski, Thilo Kehrer, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell, Pablo Fornals, Lucas Paqueta, James Ward-Prowse, Mohammed Kudus, Said Benrahma, Danny Ings
Moyes has made a whole host of changes to the side that lost 3-1 to Man City on Saturday.
In come Fabianski, Kehrer, Mavropanos, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Fornals, Kudus, Benrahma and Ings, and tonight will be a huge opportunity for those players to show the manager what they’re capable of.
Getting the three points will be absolutely vital tonight, if we are going to qualify for the knockout stages.
Our group is far from easy, in spite of what some people might have you think. Trips to Freiburg and Olympiacos will be difficult to say the least.
So getting six points from the two games against Backa Topola will be crucial.
The Europa League starting lineup selected by West Ham boss David Moyes is more than strong enough to get the job done tonight.
I’m going for a 3-0 win. COYI X
