Fixture: West Ham United vs Sunderland
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

West Ham United have officially announced their starting line-up and substitutes to host struggling Sunderland at the London Stadium in a Premier League match.

The Hammers have climbed out of the relegation zone of late to boast seven points from eight games and raise confidence levels around the club. Sunderland by contrast arrive at the London Stadium rock bottom of the table with just two points.




West Ham boss Slaven Bilic will be keen for his side to collect all three points today and to get the job done he picks Simone Zaza in attack, while Dimitri Payet and Michail Antonio will look to keep him well supplied with chances. Mark Noble skippers the side from the centre of midfield, while Manuel Lanzini is also handed a start. At the back, Angelo Ogbonna teams up with Winston Reid as the central defensive pair.

On the bench, Bilic has Jonathan Calleri and Ashley Fletcher if he needs to bring on another striker, while Sofiane Feghouli is another attacking option for the Croatian.
