West Ham manager David Moyes has made eleven changes to his team to take on Dinamo Zagreb at the London Stadium in the Europa League.
With the Hammers already through to the last-16 and top spot in Group H assured Moyes has decided to ring the changes and protect his injury-hit squad with a hectic festive period on the horizon.
Following the match this evening the Hammers face a run of seven matches in 21 days having just come off the back of five games in 16 days.
In goal, Moyes has opted to once again start with Alphonse Areola in Europe with Lukasz Fabianski handed a rest this mid-week. Darren Randolph is named on the bench if required.
The defence has a new look to it with Moyes opting to hand four players their first-ever European starts for West Ham with Emmanuel Longelo, Jamal Baptiste, Aji Alese and Harrison Ashby making up a very young back four.
The midfield has a far more experienced look to it with Mark Noble captaining the team alongside Czech Republic international Alex Kral. The pair will have an important role in protecting the youngsters and helping them through their first experience of European football.
West Ham's attacking quartet is a mix of youth and older heads with 104 capped Ukrainian international Andriy Yarmolenko at one end of the scale and 17-year-old Sonny Perkins the other.
The pair are joined by Nikola Vlasic and Pablo Fornals. Perkins will lead the line with Yarmolenko on the right, Vlasic on the left and Fornals in the No.10 role.
West Ham XI - Areola; Ashby, Alese, Baptiste, Longelo; Kral, Noble; Vlasic, Fornals, Yarmolenko, Perkins.
