Boss Manuel Pellegrini goes with Lukasz Fabianski between the sticks, while for his centre-back pairing he names Fabian Balbuena and Issa Diop. In midfield, the Hammers boss goes with Declan Rice and Pedro Obiang, while Robert Snodgrass, Grady Diangana and Felipe Anderson will look to create for Marko Arnautovic.
