West Ham team news
Gianluca Scamacca remains sidelined after undergoing knee surgery but should be the only fitness concern for manager David Moyes, who will likely give cup goalkeeper Alphonse Areola a run-out in place of usual number one Lukasz Fabianski.
All eyes will be on midfielder Declan Rice, who could be playing his final game for the club as the elite begin to circle. He is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Bobby Moore in lifting a European trophy. Indeed, West Ham are already bracing for opening bids for their captain.

This could be a fun one.
Fiorentina love to attack and the Coppa Italia finalists come into this game feeling good about their chances of lifting the trophy and booking their spot in next season's Europa League.
