MOYES GIVING GIANLUCA A CHANCE TO FIND THAT SCAMACCA SWAGGER

- By KIERAN GILL WEST HAM (4-2-3-1): Areola; Kehrer, Zouma, Aguerd, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma; Scamacca.

GIAnLUCA SCAMACCA is set to start for West ham tonight, with manager David Moyes ordering his £35.5million striker to stop his disappeari­ng act.

Moyes will give the Italian an opportunit­y in tonight’s europa Conference League last-16 second leg against Larnaca, of Cyprus, with West ham leading 2-0 from the first leg and on the verge of the quarter-finals.

‘Yes, it is, a good chance,’ Moyes said of starting Scamacca. ‘We want him back. We want our Gianluca back who we had from August to november. The one we have right now looks slightly different. We want him to be physically working hard for the team, getting in the right goalscorin­g positions, playing like a 6ft 4in centre forward and covering all the ground.

‘In the early part of the season we saw that. We haven’t seen it since he came back from his injury in november. It is a difficult league to come into and get settled.’
