David Moyes has named his strongest team to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Selhurst Park this evening.
Following a record-breaking start to the year with five victories in a row, West Ham will be aiming to make it six on the spin and eight unbeaten in all competitions.
Lukasz Fabianksi remains in goal for The Hammers with experienced 'keeper David Martin recalled to the bench ahead of youngster Nathan Trott.
The back four is completely changed from the cup win, with Vladimir Coufal, Craig Dawson, Angelo Ogbonna, and Aaron Cresswell all recalled to the line-up. Issa Diop, Fabian Balbuena, Ryan Fredericks, and Ben Johnson are all named as substitutes on a strong Hammers bench.
The ever-present Declan rice and Tomas Soucek start in front of the back four with Rice handed the armband in place of club captain Mark Noble who is once again a substitute for a league game.
Moyes' hardest choice was whether to play Manuel Lanzini instead of Pablo Fornals or Said Benrahma. The boss decided to leave Lanzini on the bench to make an impact later in the game if needed.
The attacking quartet is the same that lined up ten days ago when West Ham defeated Burnley 1-0 in the league game at the London Stadium.
Jarrod Bowen will start on the right, Fornals on the left with Benrahma playing behind lone striker Michail Antonio.
Benrahma will be hoping to end his 700-minute wait for a goal in West Ham colours, no such problem exists for Antonio who has scored two in two since his return to the league starting XI.
West Ham XI - Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma; Antonio
Substitues - Martin, Diop, Fredericks, Johnson, Balbuena, Noble, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Odubeko
