West Ham confirmed 11 vs Manchester United: David Moyes makes four changes in FA Cup clash

West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Manchester United at Old Trafford in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Hammers will look to book their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Wednesday night against the Red Devils, who lifted the Carabao Cup trophy just over 72 hours ago.

As the Irons look to record their third away win in this season’s competition, Moyes has made four changes to face United from the side that beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 on Saturday.

Of the changes, three are enforced. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is ruled out after fracturing his cheekbone and eye-socket against Forest, with right-back Vladimir Coufal also being forced off in that game with a heel injury. Striker Danny Ings also misses out as he is cup-tied.

For those three, who all miss out on the squad, Emerson replaces Coufal, with Ben Johnson moving to right-back, Alphonse Areola replaces Fabianski in goal and Michail Antonio replaces the inelgible Ings.

The other change comes in attack, where Pablo Fornals replaces Jarrod Bowen after coming off the bench to set-up Antonio's goal against the Tricky Trees. Bowen has a minor knock.

Academy duo Divin Muabama and Kamarai Swyer both make the bench after scoring for the under-21s against Brighton and Hove Albion on Monday.

Meanwhile, United boss Erik ten Hag has made six changes from the side that beat Newcastle United 2-0 at Wembley Stadium in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Manchester United starting XI: David De Gea; Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia; Scott McTominay, Marcel Sabitzer; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho; Wout Weghorst

Substitutes: Tom Heaton, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martinez, Marcus Rashford, Fred, Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Facundo Pellistri, Anthony Elanga
