Claret & Hugh reporting that Bowen is still unable to put weight on his bruised heel and that Rice still isn't fully recovered so they'll see how he's feeling this morning before deciding whether or not he flies to Spain.
Rice needs to sit deeper as per last season and allow Soucek forward for this one. It's two legs and we must have something to fight for when back to the London Stadium.He needs play his England role.
Areola Johnson - Dawson - Zouma - Cresswell Soucek - Rice - Lanzini Fornals - Antonio - Benrahma
Bowen on the bench would be my guess
Areola has hardly distinguished himself in our last 2 FA Cup matches. Fabianski should play. There’s really no need to rest Fabianski. We need to play our best team. No point in holding back. This is now our best chance to get Champions League next season. I can dream can’t I!!!!!
I hope Moyes doesn’t treat this in the manner he sometimes treats top 4 teams (ie with far too much respect). I’d be delighted with a draw but 5 at the back might not be the best approach here. I worry they could play us off the park but we shall see!
Martial back in training with the first squad but Diego Carlos, Fernando, Montiel and Papu Gomez all ruled out, Karim Rekik doubtful
Diego Carlos is a big loss for Sevilla, started every game this season apart from one match suspension and a Copa del Rey match against 4th tier opposition.
Possibly the worst time for Sevilla to be playing in the last 16 of the Europa League

Also the kick-off time is so annoying. I’m going to have to fake a client meeting so I can leave work early.

Have all these years supporting West Ham taught you nothing.
