Pretty much the team I'd pick, though I hear RLC didn't play that well on Tuesday, he is still dangerous enough to prevent West ham from overcommitting.

Maybe I'd swap Sako for TFM or jr in mid, or PVA as a left sided midfielder, as apparently he can't defend but is decent on the ball.

Why on earth would play Bakary as a centre half and Mamadou is good on the ball but I would never have him up front

Pretty much agree with this with whats available apart from I’d definitely stick TFM in over Ward. Funny how TFM seems to be out of favour a little for some reason

I would drop Ward as well but TFM has not been that great he is another has pace but not much else.

This shows how poor the squad really is and none of the players that started mid week really deserve a place

I prefer Tomkins over Dann he looks better with Sakho the partnership last season looked good with them two for the handful of games they had together.

Speroni

TFM Sakho Tomkins Papa

Cabaye Mili Schlupp

Townsend Loftus-Cheek Zaha

I can't see him doing this but it's what I would go with

I don't see Schlupp as being much better than PvA and I think Patrick needs to get back on the horse quickly and prove his worth (although he has to stop marking the biggest players on set-pieces. I also think RLC drifting between midfield and attack to form a second striker could work well. Having said all that, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same team as at Newcastle but with RLC replacing the injured McArthur.

If McArthur is out I'd go

Ward Dann Sakho PVA
