DAVID MOYES sized up West Ham's chances of puncturing the longest unbeaten run in Europe, shrugged and said: "It's a great opportunity."

Kalvin Phillips, who is struggling to win over fans on an accident-prone loan spell from Manchester City, will also be missing after picking up a late hamstring tweak in training.
And midfield enforcer Edson Alvarez's suspension will place an even higher premium on Brazil magician Lucas Paqueta (right) to pull more rabbits from his top hat.
