West Ham confirmed 11: David Moyes makes nine changes to face Fulham as Gianluca Scamacca starts

West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Fulham at the London Stadium.

The Hammers will look to make it three wins from three in all competitions when they face London rivals Fulham on Sunday afternoon, having recorded wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Anderlecht in the past eight days.

As the Irons aim to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time this season, Moyes has made nine changes to face Fulham from the team that beat Anderlecht 1-0 on Thursday night.

It is almost the same side that started in the 2-0 win at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers eight days ago, with the exception of Pablo Fornals starting on the left wing instead of the injured Maxwel Cornet (calf).

Lukasz Fabianski comes back in goal in place of Alphonse Areola, with Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma and Aaron Cresswell all recalled to make up the back four with Craig Dawson.

Declan Rice starts after featuring off the bench in Anderlecht to captain West Ham, partnering Tomas Soucek in midfield. Fornals and Lucas Paqueta start with Jarrod Bowen in the three behind Gianluca Scamacca up front.

Alphonse Areola, Vladimir Coufal, Ben Johnson, Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson, Flynn Downes, Manuel Lanzini and Michail Antonio all drop to the bench.

Centre-back Nayef Aguerd (ankle) remains sidelined but has resumed light training, having been on the sidelines since pre-season.

Meanwhile, Fulham boss Marco Silva has made four changes from the side that lost 4-1 to Newcastle United eight days ago.

West Ham United starting XI: Lukasz Fabianski; Thilo Kehrer, Craig Dawson, Kurt Zouma, Aaron Cresswell; Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek; Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Pablo Fornals; Gianluca Scamacca

Substitutes: Alphonse Areola, Ben Johnson, Vladimir Coufal, Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson, Flynn Downes, Manuel Lanzini, Said Benrahma, Michail Antonio
