West Ham United manager David Moyes says he has selection decisions to make ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Leeds United on Sunday.
While the Hammers are not officially guaranteed survival yet, it is likely that they will do it this weekend, being six points ahead of the bottom three in 15th with two games to do it.
When West Ham host Leeds on Sunday, they know they will officially secure safety by avoiding defeat. However, should Everton fail to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, their safety will be confirmed before they face Leeds.

With the game coming less than 72 hours after West Ham’s Europa Conference League semi-final second leg win over AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion, manager Moyes has some selection dilemmas to ponder, given the quick turnaround from their 14th European match of the season.
Between the two legs, Moyes made nine changes to his West Ham team to face Brentford in a 2-0 loss at the Gtech Community Stadium, with his heavily rotated team struggling to even lay a glove on the Hammers in the game.
Speaking ahead of facing relegation-threatened Leeds about what team he is set to field, Moyes said the poor performance against Brentford last week when fringe players got a chance will make him really weigh up who to and not to give chances to.
“As a manager, you can field whatever side you feel is right,” said Moyes. “We had to make a few decisions against Brentford last week. We played the first leg of the semi-final and I had to make a few decisions.
“Quite often, the minute your decisions don’t go right you get mentioned. When the decisions do go right, what it was was to leave people out last week and get us ready for this and to get to the final and we took that.
“We’ve got some decisions to make this week as well.”
