West Ham manager David Moyes is desperate for midfielder Declan Rice to return ahead of crucial part of the Hammers' season

David Moyes says Declan Rice's return can help West Ham stop leaking goals and get their push for the Champions League places back on track.

West Ham have not kept a clean sheet in their last six games — conceding 12 goals in the process — and face Burnley on Tuesday night after back-to-back defeats.

Rice has missed the last four matches after suffering a knee injury on England duty in March, but is pushing to face Burnley.
