Without Allen teams have passed through our midfield too easily. Away to a physical team like West Ham Lucas is a good choice. Borini has done emough in his cameos and training apparently to merit a start. Further his movement is a bonus as our attack has been very static
I think Gerrard will continue to play the deep role.
Starting Lucas is a defensive move. Moreno and Manquillo bombing forward a lot and Henderson and Lucas will both work hard and track back to cover for them.
