Bilic should give these 3 West Ham players a chance against West Brom

Manuel Lanzini

Manuel Lanzini lost his place in the starting eleven for the Southampton game after a below-par display against Manchester City last week, although in truth many West Ham players were far from great that night.

Nonetheless, the Argentine has scored once and laid on two assists in the Premier League in 2017, and Bilic may need his creative playmaker to open up the West Brom defence on Saturday.

With just four goals and two assists this term, Bilic may want more from the 23-year-old in the coming weeks, and with Dimitri Payet gone, Lanzini is their go-to man, with West Brom at home the sort of game where he needs to step up and orchestrate the Hammers’ attacking play.
