West Ham confirmed 11: David Moyes makes one change to face Bournemouth and Said Benrahma call

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

The Hammers are looking to return to winning ways and move up from 17th in the table, currently sitting just two points clear of the bottom three.

As the Irons aim to win and climb above the Cherries and up to tenth, Moyes has made one change to face Bournemouth from the team that lost 1-0 to Liverpool last Wednesday.

The sole change comes on the left wing where Said Benrahma returns to the starting line-up in place of Pablo Fornals, who drops to the bench.

Defender Craig Dawson still remains sidelined with a dead leg injury first sustained against Anderlecht in the Europa Conference League 11 days ago. Centre-back Nayef Aguerd (ankle) remains sidelined but has resumed light training, having been on the sidelines since pre-season.

Midfielder Lucas Paqueta also remains absent with a shoulder issue. Winger Maxwel Cornet (calf) is still out, having been forced off on his full league debut for the club against Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil has made no changes from the side that lost to Southampton 1-0 last Wednesday.

West Ham United starting XI: Lukasz Fabianski; Ben Johnson, Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma, Aaron Cresswell; Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek, Flynn Downes; Jarrod Bowen, Said Benrahma; Gianluca Scamacca

Substitutes: Alphonse Areola, Darren Randolph, Vladimir Coufal, Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson, Manuel Lanzini, Conor Coventry, Pablo Fornals, Michail Antonio

Bournemouth starting XI: Neto; Adam Smith, Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi; Marcus Tavernier, Lewis Cook, Jefferson Lerma, Ryan Fredericks; Ryan Christie, Philip Billing; Dominic Solanke

Substitutes: Mark Travers, Jack Stacey, Ben Pearson, Jaidon Anthony, Jordan Zemura, Joe Rothwell, Junior Stanislas, Jack Stephens, Kieffer Moore
