West Ham have named arguably the strongest team they possibly could as they take on PL2 division one champions Everton at London Stadium on Monday night in a game they simply have to win - and have called in re-inforcements too.
First team midfielder Carlos Sanchez makes his first start in eight months after a serious knee injury to get some much needed game time under his belt.
Another first teamer who has found chances hard to come by in recent months, Grady Diangana, also starts for Liam Manning's side at the London Stadium.
Ben Johnson, who made his Hammers first team debut against Manchester City back in February, starts at right back in a defence made up of highly-rated Ajibola Alese, Josh Pask and Jeremy Ngakia.

Nathan Trott also starts in goal for the U23s in their must-win game.
