The full millwall vs west ham lineups are now confirmed by both clubs. West Ham’s starting eleven reads as follows.
Mads Hermansen starts in goal. Kyle Walker-Peters, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Maximilian Kilman and Morato make up the back four. Jarrod Bowen, Divine Mukasa, Arne Engels and Manor Solomon are selected across midfield, with Joël Piroe and Taty Castellanos up front.
Filip Marschall starts for Millwall. He is protected by a back four of J. Osei-Tutu, Caleb Taylor, Jake Cooper and Zak Sturge. Jenson Metcalfe, Derek Mazou-Sacko and Mark Sykes make up the midfield, while Lyndon Dykes leads the attack alongside Camiel Neghli and Taïryk Arconte.
West Ham’s substitutes are Mohamadou Kanté, Pablo, Soungoutou Magassa, Oliver Scarles, Edvin Austbø, Finlay Herrick, Airidas Golambeckis, Lewis Orford and Joshua Ajala.
Millwall’s bench includes Mathis Servais, Elkan Baggott, Max Crocombe, Daniel Kelly, Kyrell Lisbie, Danny Batth, Luke Cundle, Yanis Issoufou and Alfie Doughty.
How West Ham line up against Millwall
Nuno Espírito Santo builds his side around the Piroe and Castellanos partnership up top. Both strikers are backed by a busy central pairing of Mukasa and Engels, who sit just in front of the back four.
Bowen and Solomon operate on either side of that midfield block, giving Nuno width and an outlet to support the front two. Behind them, Walker-Peters and Morato take the full-back roles either side of Mavropanos and Kilman, with Hermansen protecting the goal.
It is a settled-looking XI, built for control in midfield while giving Piroe and Castellanos the numbers to work off each other in behind Millwall’s back line.
What happens next
Saturday’s fixture follows a busy few weeks for West Ham, who progressed through the Carabao Cup tie against Fulham, a game that added to the two clubs’ recent cup history.
