West Ham confirmed 11: David Moyes makes three changes to face Wolves and Maxwel Cornet decision

West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium

The Hammers will look to pick up their first home win of the Premier League season, having picked up just one point at the London Stadium so far this season.

As the Irons aim to return to winning ways in England’s top-flight, Moyes has made three changes to face Wolves from the team that lost 1-0 to Everton before the international break.

The first change comes at the back where Craig Dawson makes his first league start of the season against a Wolves side whom he nearly joined on deadline day in the summer window. He replaces Vladimir Coufal, who drops to the bench. Thilo Kehrer moves to right-back, a role he impressed in for Germany against England on Monday night.

Maxwel Cornet makes his full debut on the left wing in place of Pablo Fornals. He captained Ivory Coast during the international break following a £17.5million move from Burnley in August.

Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca also starts for his full home debut in the Premier League. He takes the place of Michail Antonio, who drops to the bench just three days after playing for Jamaica against Argentina.

Right-back Ben Johnson is back on the bench after missing over a month of action with a hamstring injury. Centre-back Nayef Aguerd (ankle) remains sidelined but has resumed light training, having been on the sidelines since pre-season.

Meanwhile, Wolves boss Bruno Lage has made one change from the side that lost 3-0 to Manchester City a fortnight ago.

West Ham United starting XI: Lukasz Fabianski; Thilo Kehrer, Craig Dawson, Kurt Zouma, Aaron Cresswell; Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek; Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Maxwel Cornet; Gianluca Scamacca

Substitutes: Lukasz Fabianski, Ben Johnson, Vladimir Coufal, Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson, Flynn Downes, Manuel Lanzini, Said Benrahma, Pablo Fornals, Michail Antonio
