Confirmed West Ham starting XI v Brentford
West Ham have confirmed their starting XI for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Brentford at the London Stadium.
David Moyes has made seven changes from the side that beat Rapid Wien 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday.
Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, Angelo Ogbonna, Kurt Zouma, Tomas Soucek, Jarrod Bowen and Pablo Fornals all come back into the side from the beginning.
That means Alphonse Areola, Ben Johnson, Craig Dawson, Issa Diop, Mark Noble, Nikola Vlasic and Andriy Yarmolenko all drop out.
West Ham confirmed their starting XI and team news on their official Twitter account prior to kick-off.
End on a high?
West Ham will be aiming to secure one last victory before the international break kicks in.
A whole host of players, including Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek, will be off on their travels next week to represent their nations, and they will hope to leave with the Irons sitting proudly in the Champions League positions.
Depending on other results, West Ham could rise to as high as second on Sunday.
It would take some goal swing, but even so, the chance to break into the top-four at this early stage is achievable.
One man who will be in confident form heading into today’s clash is Michail Antonio, who is currently tied level with Mohamed Salah and Jamie Vardy on five Premier League goals this season.
He will face a tough test against the Bees, though.
Only Manchester City [one], Chelsea [three] and Liverpool [four] have conceded fewer goals than Thomas Frank’s men [five], with the likes of Ethan Pinnock and Kristoffer Ajer impressing at the heart of defence.
