Fixture: West Ham United vs Southampton
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)
West Ham United have officially confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes to play host to Southampton at the London Stadium this afternoon.
The Hammers are on a run of poor form and have lost their last three straight Premier League matches, going down to Manchester City, Watford and West Brom. Slaven Bilic's men did beat Accrington Stanley in midweek in the EFL Cup, but needed an injury time goal from Dimitri Payet to edge out the League Two side 1-0.
Bilic will be desperate for his men to change their league fortunes today by putting Southampton to the sword and to get the job done the Croatian picks Simone Zaza up front, with support from Manuel Lanzini and Dimitri Payet. Mark Noble will look to control midfield, while Michail Antonio will offer another threat going forward. The central defensive pairing is Winston Reid and Angelo Ogbonna, with Alvaro Arbeloa filling in at left-back.
On the bench the West Ham boss has Ashley Fletcher if he needs to throw on another striker, while Sofiane Feghouli is another attack-minded option. Pedro Obiang is also amongst the substitutes.
West Ham United Team vs Southampton
Adrian, Nordtveit, Reid, Ogbonna, Arbeloa, Antonio, Noble, Payet, Kouyate, Lanzini, Zaza
Substitutes: Randolph, Byram, Oxford, Obiang, Fernandes, Feghouli, Fletcher
