Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how West Ham United could line up for the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt.

West Ham United head into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Eintracht Frankfurt able to welcome back a number of players into their starting lineup.

Despite the desire to remain active in the race for Premier League top four, David Moyes has recently taken the decision to rest players for games with Chelsea and Arsenal, and it may prove important with the Hammers trailing by a 2-1 deficit.

Against the latter on Sunday, the likes of Tomas Soucek and Michail Antonio were both only named on the substitutes' bench, but they will return to the team on Thursday night.

Soucek will take the spot of veteran midfielder Mark Noble, while Antonio is in line to replace Said Benrahma, unless the playmaker is selected in a wide position.

Craig Dawson is available again after missing the defeat to the Gunners courtesy of a domestic suspension, the Englishman expected to partner Kurt Zouma in the middle of the backline.

Although Issa Diop returned to the squad after injury on Sunday, the Frenchman is unlikely to be considered for a starting role for a game of this magnitude.

Moyes will contemplate whether to recall Vladimir Coufal in place of Ben Johnson, the Czech Republic international's greater experience potentially proving to be an asset.

Second-choice goalkeeper Alphonse Areola will also come back into the team, continuing his European game time ahead of Lukasz Fabianski.

West Ham United possible starting lineup: Areola; Coufal, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio
