West Ham predicted XI vs Bolton Wanderers: Austbo starts as Nuno shuffles the pack in four changes

West Ham United have started to bear their teeth in the Championship.

After going winless in their opening three league matches this season, the Hammers have recorded back-to-back wins.

West Ham earned a 4-2 win over fellow relegated outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers last week, then backed that up with a 3-0 triumph over Derby County.

Joel Piroe kicked things off with a goal in the sixth minute, before substitute Edvin Austbo scored one and set one up for Mohamadou Kante.

Now, though, it is already onto the next one with Nuno Espirito Santo preparing for Tuesday's trip to face Bolton Wanderers.

West Ham may have found some form, but given the quick succession of games, West Ham Zone has predicted Nuno to make four changes for the clash at Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Nuno mixes things up in defence for West Ham

With Alphonse Areola completely ostracised at West Ham, Mads Hermansen's spot in goal is safe.

However, Nuno might be wary of play veteral Joel Veltman twice in the space of a few days, and so Kyle Walker-Peters might get the nod at right-back.

Morato signed on loan from Nottingham Forest as deadline day wound down, but was named on the bench for the Derby win.

It is hard to imagine Nuno keeps him on the bench for long, and it could be comes in for Max Kilman to partner Konstantinos Mavropanos at centre-back.

Oliver Scarles is being back to keep his spot at left-back, despite competition from new boy Adama Boiro.

Maverick Austbo to start in attack

Nuno went with a 4-4-2/4-4-1 against Derby and you would expect him to keep that here.

Skipper Jarrod Bowen is surely a shoo-in to start, while Arne Engels is starting to find his feed and you would expect him to keep his spot.

However, Austbo and Kante both made a big difference off the bench against Derby last time.

Consequently, Kante could come in for Divine Mukasa in the centre of the park, with Austbo taking the place of Manor Solomon on the left.

Up top, Piroe and Taty Castellanos are starting to show a decent understanding and Nuno will surely want to continue with that partnership.

West Ham predicted XI vs Bolton Wanderers: Hermansen; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Morato, Scarles; Bowen, Engels, Kante, Austbo; Castellanos, Piroe
