Fixture: Manchester City vs West Ham United
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)

West Ham United have officially announced their team to lock horns with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a Premier League fixture this afternoon.

The Hammers head into the game on the back of a Europa League exit on Thursday night, but will be boosted by the signing of striker Simone Zaza from Juventus, even though he did not arrive in time to face the Citizens.




In a bid to shock Pep Guardiola's side in their own backyard, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has opted to hand summer signing Ashley Fletcher his full debut and the striker will partner Enner Valencia in attack. Mark Noble skippers the side, while Bilic has picked three at the back, with James Collins, Winston Reid and Angelo Ogbonna those selected.

On the bench, the West Ham boss has Jonathan Calleri if he needs to throw on another striker, while Manuel Lanzini is a creative option for the Hammers.
