Nobes on the bench for farewell

Mark Noble will say goodbye to the London Stadium today but he will start the clash with Manchester City on the bench.

Boss David Moyes has named his team for the clash with Pep Guardiola’s title-chasers, who can win the league with two more wins.

As a result, the Hammers chief has left Nobes on the bench and has instead started Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek in midfield.

Lukasz Fabianski plays in goal, with Moyes reverting to what looks like a back four.

Vlad Coufal plays at right-back, with Kurt Zouma and Craig Dawson at centre-back and Aaron Cresswell at left-back.

Mikey Antonio is up front, with Jarrod Bowen, Manuel Lanzini and Pablo Fornals providing support to the striker.

Full West Ham XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Dawson, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio. Subs: Areola, Masuaku, Johnson, Fredericks, Noble, Kral, Vlasic, Yarmolenko, Okoflex. 

Full Man City XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Fernandinho, Laporte, Zinchenko; Rodri, De Bruyne; Bernardo, Mahrez, Grealish; Jesus. Subs: Steffen, Ake, Sterling, Gundogan, Foden, Egan-Riley, Mbete, Palmer, Lavia.
