Manuel Lanzini has been recalled to the West Ham team as one of two changes made by David Moyes ahead of the Hammers clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Ben Johnson is also back in from the start following Vladimir Coufal's surgery and will start as right back as a result.
After consecutive draws in the Premier League West Ham will be keen to get back to winning ways this afternoon and move to within one point of the top four and above London rivals Arsenal. Defeat would see West Ham drop to seventh with their opponents replacing them in the top six.
Alongside Johnson at the back Moyes has gone with his settled defence of Kurt Zouma, Craig Dawson and Aaron Cresswell ahead of Lukasz Fabianski in goal.
Ahead of the back four, Declan Rice will once again captain the side alongside the birthday boy Tomas Soucek.
With Lanzini back in the side the attacking quartet is slightly rejigged, with the Argentine international expected to fill the No.10 role behind lone striker Michail Antonio.
This will leave Jarrod Bowen to fill his regular role on the right with Pablo Fornals moving to the left to accommodate Lanzini in the side. Said Benrahma is the one to miss out and starts the game on the bench.
West Ham XI: Fabianski; Johnson, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio
Subs: Areola, Diop, Alese, Noble, Kral, Vlasic, Benrahma, Oko-Flex, Perkins
