Scamacca starts

West Ham boss David Moyes is persisting with Gianluca Scamacca up front against Leeds.

The Italy international has struggled for goals this season but he will get another chance to prove his worth against Jesse Marsch’s side.

Mikey Antonio is on the bench, with Scamacca set to be ably supported by Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta. Said Benrahma is on the bench alongside Mikey.

Elsewhere in the team, it is much the same as Moyes bids to drag the Hammers out of relegation trouble.

Lukasz Fabianski plays in goal; Vlad Coufal plays at right-back, with Thilo Kehrer seemingly playing at left-back.

Nayef Aguerd returns to the team at centre-back alongside Craig Dawson.

In midfield, Declan Rice is joined by Tomas Soucek, with Pablo Fornals also in midfield.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Aguerd, Kehrer; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Fornals; Scamacca. Subs: Areola, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Johnson, Emerson, Downes, Benrahma, Lanzini, Antonio.
