Confirmed West Ham team vs Sheffield United: Andriy Yarmolenko returns, Jack Wilshere misses out

Manuel Pellegrini has made five changes to the side which lost to Everton last weekend as he has named his West Ham side to take on Sheffield United at London Stadium.

Aaron Cresswell comes back into the side after sitting last week out through injury, and is joined by Pablo Zabaleta who replaces Ryan Fredericks at right back.

Angelo Ogbonna also drops to the bench and is replaced by Fabian Balbuena, who partners Issa Diop in the heart of the defence.

Cresswell will hope he can continue his fine form which saw him score twice in three games before his injury setback.

Declan Rice partners captain Mark Noble in the middle of the park again, while Robert Snodgrass replaces Manuel Lanzini who has been out of form of late.

Jack Wilshere is not in the match day squad.

Andriy Yarmolenko returns to the starting eleven after he was left out against Everton, while Felipe Anderson keeps his place on the other flank.

Leading the line is Sebastien Haller, who will be looking to add to his four goals in the Premier League this season.

The Hammers have lost their last two Premier League games and have picked up just one point from the last available nine, not winning in the league since beating Manchester United on September 22.

Pellegrini will certainly hope that will change today.

West Ham : Roberto; Zabaleta, Diop, Balbuena, Cresswell; Rice, Noble, Snodgrass, Anderson, Yarmolenko; Haller.
