David Moyes continues to battle through a horror run of games as West Ham look to beat the drop this season.

The Scotsman has been boosted by the return of Felipe Anderson to training this week, though after only a couple of days full training it may be too soon to throw him straight into the starting eleven at the Etihad.

New signing Tomas Soucek made his debut against the Seagulls last weekend and should join Declan Rice and Mark Noble in midfield once more, though Moyes is hesitant to ask too much of deadline day arrival Jarrod Bowen just yet.

"I’m pleased to have him," Moyes said of the forward. "He’s done well in the Championship, not just for one season, he’s earned his stripes. It gives me great hope that he will step up.
