West Ham manager David Moyes has rung the changes to his Hammers team for this afternoon's FA Cup clash with Leeds United.
The Scot has named a strong team with only three changes with Alphonse Areola, Ryan Fredericks and Nikola Vlasic coming into the starting XI.
In goal Moyes has opted for Alphonse Areola with the on-loan 'keeper selected ahead of regular No.1 Lukasz Fabianski.
In defence Moyes has made one change with Coufal dropping out of the team from Selhurst Park and replaced by Fredericks.
The two centre-backs are Craig Dawson and Issa Diop with Ben Johnson expected to start on the left and Fredericks the right.
In midfield, Moyes has opted against handing starts to club captain Mark Noble and Alex Kral and elected to continue with Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice.
Ahead of the midfield axis, Moyes was forced into one change with Said Benrahma away on AFCON duty with Algeria and the manager has brought Vlasic in for the attacker.
Manuel Lanzini, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen continue in the team from Palace with Vlasic expected to start on the left of the three attacking midfielders.
Pablo Fornals has returned to the squad after a period of isolation after a positive COVID test at the end of last year. Andriy Yarmolenko joins Fornals on the bench along with Noble and Kral if Moyes wishes to call on experience.
In the FA Cup this season clubs are allowed to make five substitutions and Moyes has named a mix of youth and experience in reserve.
