West Ham United
After slaying Chelsea last Saturday, West Ham United turn their attention to the Europa League group stage where they are looking to end on a high note.
The Hammers have been playing well in Europe this season, and come into the last group game of the Europa League undefeated across five games (W4, D1). Their dominance of Group H sees them come into this game guaranteed to the top spot.
Only third-placed Genk have been able to stop the hosts this season, making it hard to envision anything other than a win in this game.
With their place in the next round already secured and with nothing to play for, many will expect David Moyes to rest his key players in preparation for a tough run of matches in the Premier League.
But whichever lineup he uses, Moyes will be desperate for his side to win the game and end their group stage on a high.
Possible West Ham United starting line-ups
Alphonse Areola; Vladimir Coufal, Issa Diop, Craig Dawson, Arthur Masuaku; Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek; Andriy Yarmolenko, Nikola Vlasic, Manuel Lanzini; Michail Antonio.
Injured: Angelo Ogbonna, Kurt Zouma, Benjamin Johnson, Ryan Fredericks, Aaron Cresswell
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None
Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo Zagreb travel to England looking to pick up the result that will guarantee them a place in the knockout stage of the Europa League.
The visitors are currently second in Group H, two points ahead of Genk in third. They need a win from this game to send them to the next round, but face the tough job of beating a West Ham side that defeated them in the reverse fixture.
They are also battling a poor run of form that has seen them win just once in their previous six fixtures across all competitions.
Zeljko Kopic’s side were beaten 2-0 by Hajduk Split in their last outing – their second consecutive loss.
They will be desperate to turn that form around by getting at least a point in this game against the Hammers. Although they could also progress even if they lose the game, that will only happen if Genk are unable to beat Rapid Vienna.
Possible Dinamo Zagreb starting line-ups
Dominik Livakovic; Daniel Štefulj, Rasmus Lauritsen, Kevin Theophile-Catherine, Sadegh Moharrami; Mislav Orsic, Josip Misic; Amer Gojak, Luka Ivanusec, Bruno Petkovic; Komnen Andric.
Injured: Emir Dilaver
Doubtful: Arijan Ademi, Deni Juric
Suspension: None
Prediction
West Ham 1-0 Dinamo Zagreb
