West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Nottingham Forest at the London Stadium in the Premier League.
The Hammers will look to escape the top-flight’s bottom three against Forest, currently sat 18th in the table after losing 2-0 away at rivals Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday.
As the Irons aim to move out of the bottom three, Moyes has made four changes to face Forest from the side that were beaten by Spurs six days ago.

In a formation change from 3-4-3 to 4-3-3, Ben Johnson comes into the back line and replaces Thilo Kehrer, with Nayef Aguerd partnering Angelo Ogbonna in the heart of defence.
Lucas Paqueta returns to midfield after a minor shoulder injury, partnering Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek in the middle of midfield.
Danny Ings makes his full debut and leads the forward line, playing up front with Jarrod Bowen on the right and Said Benrahma coming back in on the left side.
Flynn Downes, Thilo Kehrer, Michail Antonio and Emerson all drop down to the bench.
Centre-back Kurt Zouma (thigh) and winger Maxwel Cornet (calf) are not in the squad, despite being pictured in training this week.
Meanwhile, Forest boss Steve Cooper has made two changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Manchester City a week ago.
