Viborg will be forced to play at full strength to close the gap. They have great news in the fact that Ibrahim Said could return for the Danish team on the flank.

Moyes will be wary of choosing his side, knowing he has a crucial one First League attachment against AstonVilla this weekend, but he should still name a strong lineup to get the job done.

Angelo Ogbonne and Vladimir Coufal are both out through injury meaning we could see a start for young defender Harrison Ashby.

Estimated XI of Viborg FF: Lund; Gaaei, Zaletel, Burgy, Sorensen; Bonde, Gronning, Leemans; Said, Grot, Lonwijk

Expected West Ham United starting XI: areola; Ashby, Zouma, Sweeper; Creswell; Downes, Soucek, Lanzini; Bowen, Scamacca, Cornet

In an all-or-nothing game, it’s always hard to predict how the two teams will compete. We believe West Ham’s overall depth and firepower will be enough to progress, especially given the two-goal lead from the first leg.

Forecast: Viborg 1 – 2 Westham
