West Ham United take on Manchester United in the Premier League this afternoon.

West Ham have brought Aaron Cresswell and Pablo Fornals into their side today for the missing Arthur Masuaku and Manuel Lanzini.

Lukasz Fabianski starts in goal as usual, behind a back four of Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop, Fabian Balbuena and Cresswell, who comes in after Masuaku picked up a red card at Aston Villa.

Declan Rice and Mark Noble continue in midfield, but with Lanzini out injured, Fornals joins Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko in playing behind Sebastien Haller.

Jack Wilshere is on the bench, alongside Roberto Jimenez, Fabian Balbuena, Pablo Zabaleta, Robert Snodgrass, Carlos Sanchez and Albian Ajeti.

Meanwhile, David De Gea starts in goal for United, behind a back four of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Ashley Young.

Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay feature in midfield, with Juan Mata and Daniel James supporting Marcus Rashford.
