Team news: Noble starts, Antonio on the bench against Tottenham

Mark Noble


West Ham United skipper Mark Noble starts in Saturday's London derby against Tottenham Hotspur after overcoming the ankle injury he sustained at Burnley before the international break.

Noble lines up alongside Declan Rice and Robert Snodgrass in the heart of the hosts' midfield, as the boss makes two changes from the team which started at Turf Moor.

Angelo Ogbonna returns at centre-half alongside Issa Diop, while Andriy Yarmolenko also starts, as Fabian Balbuena and Pablo Fornals drop to the bench.

Michail Antonio also returns to the matchday 18 for the first time since going down with a hamstring injury in August, giving Manuel Pellegrini another option from the bench.
