David Moyes has resisted the urge to throw in Jarrod Bowen for his West Ham debut as he has named the January deadline day signing on the bench for West Ham's trip to Manchester City.
It looks as though the manager has gone for a back five at the Etihad, with Arthur Masuaku included from the start as well as Aaron Cresswell.
Lukasz Fabianski lines up in goal as usual for the Hammers and the back four remains the same from the Brighton game as Issa Diop partners Angelo Ogbonna in the centre, while Ryan Fredericks and Masuaku are the two full backs with Cresswell the third centre half.
Tomas Soucek starts his second game in a row in midfield after making his move from Slavia Prague on loan having made his debut in the draw with the Seagulls.
Robert Snodgrass starts in midfield once again alongside Declan Rice and Mark Noble captains the side as always.
Up front, iMichail Antonio leads the line as Sebastien Haller has been axed.
Felipe Anderson is also among the substitutes for the Hammers having missed the last five weeks with a rib injury sustained during the 1-0 loss to Sheffield United last month.
West Ham: Fabianski; Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku; Rice, Noble, Soucek, Snodgrass; Haller.
