David Moyes has made two changes to his starting XI to take on Chelsea this evening with Craig Dawson's suspension forcing his hand.
Fabian Balbuena comes in for his first Premier League start since the 2-2 draw against Brighton on December 27 and Ryan Fredericks replaces Ben Johnson in defence.
West Ham's change in central defence comes following Dawson's needless sending off at St James' Park leaving his team in a tough spot 1-0 and one man down for the remaining 55 minutes.
Moyes was hoping to be able to recall the likes of Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku, but neither man was deemed fit to start after training on Friday and remain unavailable to the Scot.
Longer-term absentees Declan Rice and Michail Antonio remain out but the boss was 'hopeful' both men will be able to contribute to the challenge for European football before the end of the season.
In Rice's absence, Mark Noble retains his place in the team and will skipper the side once more alongside Tomas Soucek in central midfield.
The backline will be made up of three central defenders with Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna lining up with Balbuena in front of Lukasz Fabianski.
Vladimir Coufal and Ryan Fredericks start as wing-backs and will look to push forward in support of the attackers.
Pablo Fornals joins Noble and Soucek in midfield and will be supporting Jesse Lingard and Jarrod Bowen, who once again starts up top as the lone striker in the absence of Antonio.
Darren Randolph returns to the matchday squad for the first time since starting away at Manchester City in February.
Alongside Randolph on the bench are Manuel Lanzini and Said Benrahma providing Moyes with experienced attacking options.
Johnson and Frederick Alves provide defensive options for Moyes should he need them, with Conor Coventry once again hoping to make his Premier League debut.
West Ham XI: Fabianski; Balbuena, Diop, Ogbonna, Coufal, Fredericks, Noble, Soucek, Fornals, Lingard, Bowen.
Substitutes: Randolph, Trott, Johnson, Alves, Coventry, Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Benrahma, Odubeko.
