Strong side for return to PL action

David Moyes has named a very strong West Ham side for the clash with Norwich on Sunday, with only Tomas Soucek getting a rest after the heartbreaking defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Alphonse Areola, of course, drops to the bench, with Lukasz Fabianski back in the team.

In defence, Vlad Coufal plays at right-back, while Craig Dawson partners Kurt Zouma in central defence.

Aaron Cresswell was sent off against Frankfurt but is back at left-back against the already relegated Canaries.

Declan Rice captains the team and is partnered by Pablo Fornals in midfield, while Manuel Lanzini, Said Benrahma, and Jarrod Bowen provide support to Mikey Antonio up front.

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

Full Norwich XI: Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Byram, Williams; Gilmour, Sorensen; Dowell, Lees-Melou, Rashica; Pukki. Subs: Gunn, Gibson, Giannoulis, Rupp, Gibbs, Springett, Tzolis, Rowe, Placheta.
