This is the West Ham XI that can secure a European spot this season

Winston Reid

He has been a stalwart of the West Ham defence for a number of years, yet Winston Reid remains a solid and reliable option for Bilic.

The New Zealand captain, who has appeared 20 times for his country, moved to East London all the way back in 2010, and later that season was part of the side relegated to the Championship.

However, the 28-year-old helped the Hammers win promotion at the first time of asking, and has since helped them become an established Premier League side once again, making 134 Premier League appearances, including 36 in their first season back in 2012/13.

And he’s been an important part of Bilic’s backline this term, starting 22 of their 25 Premier League games, and certainly improving alongside the overall upturn in form of the club over the past few months.

Clearly, Reid will be an integral part of the defence for the rest of the season and beyond.
