Charly Alcaraz struck a post, while Jack Harrison and Tim Iroegbunam again featured after long-term injury.

Moyes said: "We're going to need everybody to make sure that we get over the line. Unfortunately, we've got a few injuries but I thought these boys have given me a little bit of a feeling that there's something there.
"I thought Tim came on and did well. I thought Jack put in some great crosses which we've been waiting on. I thought Charly came on and did very well in the moments he had and it was good to have him.
"I thought he brought some energy. He had a great effort from a free-kick which hits the post."
