Hammers changes – here’s the line-up

Manuel Pellegrini has been forced to make a couple of changes to the starting X1 for today’s clash against Everton at Goodison Park.

Arthur Masuaku replaces Aaron Cresswell and Andriy Yarmolenko is being rested but included on the bench.

Cresswell is understood to have taken a knock in training and the return of Masuaku will give the team an even more attacking look as we bid to get our season back on track after the Palace defeat.

The Cresswell injury arrived late in the week and followed an insider telling CandH  that there would be no certain news on the line up given the possibility of injuries intervening.

We were told: “It’s never a certainty until the day of the game who is 100 per cent fit which half suggested there may be a problem somewhere in the squad.

Declan Rice was fit enough to make the England bench on Tuesday evening and is included in an otherwie unchanged line up.
