Twitter account @ExWHUemployee has released the correct West Ham line-up early for the last 60 matches.
The person behind the account claims to be guessing the line-up based on the players that Pellegrini involves in set-piece drills in training the day before a match.
The Chilean corroborated this to an extent when he said in a press conference: "I’m not aware of the team being leaked. In every team I have managed, the day before the game I work the set pieces so all the players know the day before who will play and who will not.
“So many players can talk with others and I am not keeping the starting XI three or four hours before the game. We work every day so there are a lot of reasons why people can know the team.”
West Ham are bottom of the table without a single point this campaign, and they will face a tough trip to Goodison Park this Sunday.
