West Ham are still just about in the mix for relegation in the Premier League, but another win in their remaining four fixtures could be enough to get them over the line for safety.

The Hammers have just win one of their last seven league games and know that they will have to massively improve if they are in the top flight next season.

David Moyes needs to freshen it up for the remaining games by ensuring that both Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini are named in the starting XI.

They can give the supporters a glimpse into the 2018/19 campaign with their brilliant combination and have the potential to tear up the division together.

Arnautovic made a sloppy start to life at the London Stadium following his switch last summer, but he is now up to 10 goals after a resurgence in the second half of the season.

The 29-year-old Austrian has thrived as a centre-forward and the team can certainly be built around him next season.

Meanwhile, Lanzini has had a moderate season with three goals nine assists, but definitely has more in his game to show.

The 25-year-old attacker has been unfortunate with a string of injuries and that has halted the playmaker’s progress.

Lanzini revealed back in March that his partnership with Arnautovic reminded him of the one he had with Dimitri Payet, which is certainly something that should excite fans.

West Ham have not quite yet got to see the best of the Lanzini-Arnautoivic combination, but there has definitely been glimpses and they are both technically cited player that understand each others games.

They can be pivotal moving into the next season and have the ability to help them push on up the table towards the European spots if they click.
