After travelling to Belgium last week, West Ham made several changes to the starting lineup at the weekend during the win over Fulham. A similar amount of changes can be expected again this Thursday by David Moyes. Michail Antonio could miss out on this clash due to an illness, while Maxwel Cornet is also expected to remain absent due to an injury. Otherwise, they have more or less everyone fit and ready for this contest. On the other hand, Anderlecht have more or less everyone available for this clash hence they could name a team similar to the one that took to the pitch last Thursday.
West Ham United possible line-up: Areola, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Johnson, Palmieri, Downes, Lanzini, Benrahma, Bowen, Scamacca
Anderlecht possible line-up: Van Crombrugge, Hoedt, Debast, Delcroix, Murillo, Ashimeru, Diawara, Amuzu, Arnstad, Verschaeren, Silva
