Manuel Pellegrini has faced criticism over his team selection in recent weeks and he is set to make changes at Turf Moor as he searches for answers to West Ham’s slump in form.
Ryan Fredericks is set to come in at right-back after Pablo Zabaleta struggled against Newcastle last weekend.
Pellegrini has a decision to make over whether to stick with Fabian Balbuena at centre-back or recall Angelo Ogbonna. Balbuena has found it tough since coming back into the side and Ogbonna had formed a good partnership with Issa Diop before he was dropped.
Felipe Anderson is out of form and is in danger of losing his place meaning Manuel Lanzini, who was left on the bench against Newcastle, could come back into the team as West Ham bid to end their run of five games without a win.
Michail Antonio is back in training after his hamstring injury but the weekend trip north will come too soon for him. He is targeting a return against Tottenham after the international break.
Predicted West Ham XI (4-2-3-1): Roberto; Fredericks, Diop, Balbuena, Cresswell; Rice, Noble; Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Snodgrass; Haller
Predict the weekend Premier League results above.
