West Ham boss David Moyes has made three changes as he looks for the Hammers second win of the season this afternoon as Wolves come visiting.

Maxwel Cornet will make his first Premier League start whilst Craig Dawson makes his first domestic start and striker Gianluca Scamacca comes in looking for his first premier league goal/s off thePL campaign campaign

Dawswill join Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma and Aaron Cresswell in the Hammers’ defence.

Despite a sub standard season Tpmas Soucek will retain his place alongside Declan Rice , with Brazil international Lucas Paquetá playing ahead of them.

Cornet, who scored nine Premier League goals for Burnley last season, will play on the left, with Jarrod Bowen on the right and Scamacca, fresh from a UEFA Nations League start against England last week, up front.

The switches of personnel see Vladimír Coufal, Michail Antonio and Pablo Fornals drop to a strong bench that also seats Saïd Benrahma, Flynn Downes and Manuel Lanzini.

After featuring twice for France across the September international break, Alphonse Areola completes the matchday squad alongside defenders Angelo Ogbonna and Emerson Palmieri.

    Moyes has to go now, he drops our best player Fornals and keeps underperformed Soucek and Bowen in the team. Lose today and ge has to go in my opinion. Just not good enough and professional enough.

    Right that’s me done. Soucek, the worst player in the league is still undroppable. Not watching, not following any more. Sick of this . Moyes doesn’t know what he is doing! How does a player need to be to be dropped ,DONE!!
