West Ham confirmed 11: David Moyes makes two changes to face Arsenal as five miss out

West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Hammers will look to return to winning ways on Monday night when they face league leaders Arsenal, having not won a league match since beating Bournemouth in October.

As the Irons aim to return to pick up a shock win, Moyes has made X changes to face Arsenal from the side that lost 2-0 to Leicester City in their last league game 38 days ago.

Both changes to the 11 from the last league game are injury-enforced. In defence, Vladimir Coufal returns at right-back in place of Kurt Zouma, who underwent knee sugery last month. Thilo Kehrer moves into centre-back with Craig Dawson, while Aaron Cresswell returns at left-back after missing the last two friendlies with a hamstring issue.

The other is in attack where Gianluca Scamacca misses out after suffering an ankle injury against Fulham nine days ago. Michail Antonio, who missed that game with a calf issue, replaces him.

Winger Maxwel Cornet (calf) is still out, having missed almost three months with a calf strain. Centre-back Nayef Aguerd and goalkeeper Alphonse Areola also miss out on the squad following their later returns from the World Cup after progession with Morocco and France.

With five senior West Ham players missing, with goalkeeper Darren Randolph left out of the squad, 18-year-old striker Divin Mubama makes the bench.

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has made two changes from the side that beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 in their last league match on November 12.

Arsenal starting XI: Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Kieran Tierney; Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli; Eddie Nketiah

Substitutes: Matt Turner, Rob Holding, Cedric Soares, Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Mohamed Elneny, Marquinhos, Amario Cozier-Duberry, Oleksandr Zinchenko
