DAVID MOYES hopes Danny Ings can really kickstart his West Ham career and the club's bid for Premier League survival against his old club Aston Villa this afternoon.
Ings has scored two goals since arriving from Villa Park in a £12million move in January, but both came in the 4-0 demolition of Nottingham Forest last month - and there have been five games in which he has featured but not scored.
But West Ham boss Moyes knows that the fact Ings will feel there is something to prove to his old employers today could weigh in the Hammers' favour.
And now the Irons chief must decide whether to unleash the 30-year-old at the London Stadium, stick with Michail Antonio, whose two goals sank AEK Larnaca in Cyprus on Thursday, or play the two of them together.
