West Ham United complete their Europa League group stage campaign as David Moyes' side welcome Dinamo Zagreb to the London Stadium this evening.

The Irons, who sit top of the standings, have already advanced into the knockout stages of the competition but do have an unbeaten record to maintain, having amassed 13 points from their opening five games.

Moyes has hinted at rotation, though that should be expected as it's something he's done in pretty much every midweek outing this season. He is also having to deal with somewhat of a defensive injury crisis.

However, it is in the attack where he should look to make a bold and brutal call, nonetheless, it's one that would benefit the team going forward.

Michail Antonio's recent form is a massive cause for concern as the 31-year-old, who is Moyes' only senior striker, has found the net just once across his last nine appearances in all competitions.

At times, the £10.8m-rated frontman has looked jaded and out of sorts - that's largely due to the sheer volume of minutes played, particularly in comparison to this stage last season, as well as his appearances for Jamaica across the Atlantic. It all adds up and the Hammers are now paying for it.

Antonio racked up only 530 minutes worth of action before Christmas last year. That number has nearly tripled to 1,462 minutes this term.

It's no secret that the Scot needs reinforcements up top this January but until then, they'll have to make do.

Some of the club's young talents, such as Sonny Perkins, have been called up to first-team training in preparation for tonight's encounter, so there could be a simple switch to be made, whilst Andriy Yarmolenko could be recalled and Jarrod Bowen is capable of leading the line, too.

In Antonio's first seven league games, he found the net five times and managed at least four shots in all but two fixtures. Since then, he's bagged once and hasn't surpassed a total of two shots in any match, per WhoScored. A worrying trend and only emphasises his struggles.

The leading £70k-per-week talisman, who was dubbed a "complete monster" and an "absolute revelation" by Daily Star journalist Paul Brown to GIVEMESPORT earlier this season, could really do with some time on the sideline in a bid to get his fitness and form back.

It's time for Moyes to be ruthless in axing his star man tonight.
