Moyes makes one change

David Moyes has made one change from the team that lost to Manchester City last week as the Irons take on Nottingham Fiorest at the City Ground.

The Hammers have brought Said Benrahma back into the team to replace Manuel Lanzini.

The rest of the team remains exactly the same, meaning that new signings Gianluca Scamacca, Flynn Downes, and Maxwel Cornet are on the bench.

Lukasz Fabianski plays in goal ahead of Alphonse Areola, with a back four again preferred; Vlad Coufal, Ben Johnson, Kurt Zouma and Aaron Cresswell make up the defence.

Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek are partnered in midfield, with Pablo Fornals, Benrahma, and Jarrod Bowen providing support to Mikey Antonio up top.

On the opposition team, Jesse Lingard starts for Steve Cooper’s side as they prepare for their return to the big time at home.

Full West Ham XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Johnson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma; Antonio. Subs: Areola, Randolph, Ashby, Coventry, Downes, Lanzini, Cornet, Scamacca.

  1. Pathetic team selection and yet we will get fed the usual rubbish of the new guys not being match fit. Come on Moyes, it’s not rocket science. The only way to get match fit is to play matches. Play them already. You wanted players who improve the squad and are better than what you have and I believe the new guys do. But can’t improve sitting on the bench.

  2. not the right post to comment on but DM needs to take Antoniopfv he is S… . Pu Scamacca on he is far more likely to score . Benrhama one of our best keep him on !

  3. Spend £100 Million , don’t play them. Moyes has a pattern. Why bother buying players then bench them. Every other teams plays their new signings.
