West Ham boss David Moyes admits he may play fresh legs today against Manchester United.
Moyes concedes some senior players are appearing jaded.
“I'd have loved to have said I put out every single player to do their best up there but then I might have been really struggling to field a team against Manchester United," Moyes said on Thursday. “That's the balance I have to come up with. I've got to say, it's difficult decisions. It was incredibly difficult decisions before we went to Liverpool.
“For a while we've been trying to give other boys a game and putting them in and seeing what they're going to do. That's what we've tried to do. So where would we do it?
“Will we do it against Manchester United? Or do it against Wolves? Probably not because I've said openly here that our bread and butter is the Premier League.
“We've got European football and somewhere along the line I've got to give some of the players an opportunity. Over the last few years, we've used Europe to give players games. But this year, the European games have been much tougher."
