David Moyes has named his strongest team to face Premier League Champions Liverpool at the London Stadium this afternoon.
Following a run of six straight victories, Moyes has opted against tinkering with his side and has named an unchanged XI in his attempt to make it seven wins in a row.
Lukasz Fabianski remains in goal for the Hammers with experienced goalkeeper David Martin taking his place on the bench ahead of the injured no.2 Darren Randolph.
The defence is made up of the usual back four with Vladimir Coufal at right-back, a centre-back partnership of Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna, with Aaron Cresswell taking up his regular left-back slot alongside them.
Tomas Soucek starts alongside captain Declan Rice in what looks to be a 4-2-3-1, the big Czech scored twice against Crystal Palace and will be hoping to add more to his already impressive league tally of seven this season.
Club captain Mark Noble is named on the bench and as so often this season may be needed in the later stages of the game to shore up the midfield.
Moyes opted against bringing Manuel Lanzini back into the team and has gone with his trusted quartet of Jarrod Bowen, Sadi Benrahma, and Pablo Fornals. With Bowen starting on the right, Fornals the left, and Benrahma behind Michail Antonio.
Bowen and Fornals will be expected to do plenty of running today, as they always do, and will be needed to help protect their full-backs against the attacking threat of Liverpool full-back duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson.
Antonio will start as the lone striker with Benrahma playing in the 'hole' behind him. The 30-year-old Englishman will not be up against Liverpool's first choice defence with Jordan Henderson having to drop into centre-back alongside Nathaniel Phillips.
The big news from the Liverpool camp is the absence of Sadio Mane from their matchday squad and Rpberto Firmino on the bench, with Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri coming in to replace the forwards.
West Ham XI - Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma; Antonio.
Substitues - Martin, Diop, Fredericks, Johnson, Balbuena, Noble, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Odubeko
