Dominik Livakovic is doubtful while Dino Peric is ruled out, although captain Arijan Ademi should be available after returning from injury off the substitutes’ bench at the weekend.

Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham preview
Having started the league season in prolific form with 10 goals from the opening three fixtures, David Moyes’ team were frustrated to draw 0-0 at Southampton at the weekend.
They could be in for another tough challenge against Dinamo, who have kept six clean sheets in their last seven fixtures and gone four games in a row without conceding a single goal.
What’s more, the Croatian champions are a tough nut to crack in front of their own fans in the Europa League, losing just one of their last 15 home fixtures and conceding only three goals in their most recent 10.
Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham tips & predictions
All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem generous on Dinamo making life difficult for West Ham on their return to the European stage and ensuring under 2.5 goals for their eighth fixture in nine.
All odds correct at time of writing. Pleaser gamble responsibly.
