Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen are two of David Moyes’ biggest threats ahead of West Ham’s clash with Lyon tonight.

Antonio has been out of form in front of goal despite chipping in with his trademark hard running and constant harrying.

Bowen was on fire before his injury and picked up where he left off with the winning goal against Everton on Sunday.

Antonio has spoken about his reaction to the goal on the Footballer’s Football Podcast on the BBC, admitting that in the build-up, he hadn’t got the clear sight of goal on his right foot he was hoping for.

“It’s a bit disappointing to be fair, if you look back at the goal, when [Bowen} runs behind the goal (celebrating) I’m fuming,” he said.

“I am fuming! You know what? I’m happy the team won, you know.

“But Pablo (Fornals) has put me through on goal, I really wanted to cut in on my right, but Ben Godfrey was coming across – the guy is rapid by the way.

“So I’ve come onto my left, very good save by Pickford, and it drops to Jarrod Bowen, which is does all the time and he puts it in the back of the net, 2-1 win, beautiful.”

What a time it would be for Antonio to get back on the scoresheet tonight when West Ham host the Ligue 1 outfit in the Europa League quarter-finals.

The last 16 win over Sevilla had the London Stadium rocking and the fans are dreaming of how far the club can go in the competition.

They likely need a win to take over to France, although after beating Julen Lopetegui’s Europa League specialists, no other engagement should hold any fear.
