David Moyes has named his West Ham United starting line-up for Saturday evening's Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
The Hammers will be looking to record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since early October. Moyes' side head to St James' Park on the back of 2-0 wins against Everton and Derby County in the league and FA Cup respectively.
Newcastle are flying high this season. The Magpies currently sit in the top four and will be heading to Wembley later this month for the Carabao Cup Final against Manchester United, after defeating Southampton 3-1 over two legs in the semi-final.

Moyes made six changes for the FA Cup win at Derby on Monday night, with Alphonse Areola making his first start since November. Ben Johnson, Thilo Kehrer, Flynn Downes, Tomas Soucek and Pablo Fornals also started against the Rams.
West Ham are without three first-team players for the trip to St James' Park. Winger Maxwel Cornet is still out of action due to a calf injury, whereas centre-back Kurt Zouma and striker Gianluca Scamacca are sidelined with a thigh and knee issue respectively.
In his pre-match press conference on Friday, Moyes said he would make a late decision on striker Danny Ings after the January signing suffered a knee injury in the 18 minutes he played on his debut against Everton. The striker is on the bench against Newcastle.
Moyes has made five changes from his starting eleven in midweek. Lukasz Fabianski returns in goal, with Vladimir Coufal and Emerson in at wing-back either side.
Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta are back in midfield and Said Benrahma replaces Pablo Fornals in the front three. Newcastle United make one change from the 11 that beat Southampton in the Carabao Cup in midweek, with Allan Saint-Maximin coming in for the suspended Bruno Guimaraes.
