West Ham manager David Moyes has made three changes from the Leeds United clash for this afternoon's Premier League game with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Kurt Zouma and Tomas Soucek returned to training following injury and COVID issues and Moyes has opted to include both for the 3pm kick-off.
Zouma is joined by Craig Dawson in the heart of the West Ham backline with Issa Diop dropping out of the starting team. Regular full-backs Vladimir Coufal and Aaron Cresswell retain their spots flanking the defence.
Behind the backline, Lukasz Fabianski is not involved, with Alphonse Areola taking the Pole's place in the side.
Soucek's inclusion sees Nikola Vlasic miss out with Manuel Lanzini moved from his central role last weekend to his preferred No.10 spot. The return of Soucek is a boost for the Hammers and provides a sturdier platform in the axis in front of the defence.
As always, Soucek is joined by Declan Rice, with the England international leading the side.
Club captain Mark Noble has recovered from injury and is included in the matchday squad for the first time since New Year's Day.
Ahead of the midfield duo, Soucek's return sees Moyes make a rejig to his attacking quartet. Vlasic drops to the bench with Fornals moving to the left to accommodate Lanzini, behind lone front man Michail Antonio.
Jarrod Bowen will be hoping to keep his goalscoring run up and will do so from his regular wide right position.
If the Hammers can avoid defeat at Old Trafford, Moyes' team will remain in the top four whilst closing the gap on third-placed Chelsea.
Defeat this afternoon will see Manchester United leapfrog West Ham and the Hammers drop to fifth spot.
West Ham XI: Areola; Coufal, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Fornals, Lanzini, Bowen; Antonio
Subs: Randolph, Diop, Fredericks, Masuaku, Johnson, Kral, Noble, Vlasic, Yarmolenko
