How will West Ham line up against Norwich City? Pablo Fornals set to replace injured Michail Antonio

Giuseppe Muro30 August 2019

With Michail Antonio out with the hamstring injury he suffered in the week, the big selection dilemma for Manuel Pellegrini is who replaces him for West Ham against Norwich City.

Andriy Yarmolenko started against Watford last weekend but was quiet so Pablo Fornals could get the nod after he scored at Newport.

Jack Wilshere impressed in that game but the midfielder is likely to have to settle for a place on the bench with captain Mark Noble and Declan Rice set to start.

Fresh from his two goals against Watford last weekend, club-record £45miliion signing Sebastien Haller will come back into the team after being rested in the Carabao Cup.

Javier Hernandez is fit again after a knee injury and could take his place on the bench. Pellegrini has no other fitness concerns.
