West Ham confirmed 11: David Moyes makes one change to face Nottingham Forest

West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to fact Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

The Hammers will look to pick up their first win of the Premier League season when they take on the Tricky Trees, who were promoted up to the top-flight for the first time in over two decades this summer.

As the Irons aim to avoid defeat to for a second straight league game, Moyes has made one change to face Forest.

The only change comes in attacking midfield. Said Benrahma replaces Manuel Lanzini in the three behind Michail Antonio, with Pablo Fornals likely to play centrally and Benrahma down the left wing.

Craig Dawson misses out after not recovering in time from his thigh injury. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and striker Michail Antonio both shook off knocks sustained in last week's defeat to Manchester City and both men start.

Maxwel Cornet could make his debut but has only been named on the bench, alongside Gianluca Scamacca. Harrison Ashby also makes the bench, with David Moyes only naming a 19-man squad.

Nayef Aguerd (ankle) remains sidelined until mid-October. Angelo Ogbonna misses out as he continues his road to recovery from a long-term knee injury suffered last November.

Meanwhile, Forest boss Steve Cooper has made two changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Newcastle United last Saturday.

Nottingham Forest starting XI: Dean Henderson; Neco Williams, Joe Worrall, Moussa Niakhate, Scott McKenna, Harry Toffolo; Lewis O’Brien, Orel Mangala, Jesse Lingard; Brennan Johnson, Taiwo Awoniyi

Substitutes: Wayne Hennessey, Giulian Biancone, Loic Mbe Soh, Steve Cook, Alex Mighten, Cafu, Lyle Taylor, Oliver Hammond, Sam Surridge

West Ham United starting XI: Lukasz Fabianski; Vladimir Coufal, Ben Johnson, Kurt Zouma, Aaron Cresswell; Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek; Jarrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma; Michail Antonio

Substitutes: Alphonse Areola, Darren Randolph, Harrison Ashby, Flynn Downes, Conor Coventry, Manuel Lanzini, Maxwel Cornet, Gianluca Scamacca
