Saïd Benrahma has been named in the starting XI for West Ham United’s Premier League match away to Nottingham Forest.
The Algerian comes into David Moyes’ team in the only change for the Hammers from last weekend’s home defeat to Manchester City, with Benrahma replacing Manuel Lanzini in the side.
New signing Maxwel Cornet, who was unveiled to the West Ham faithful at London Stadium last Sunday, is named in a matchday squad for the first time since joining the Club from Burnley.
Łukasz Fabiański has recovered from the knock that saw him substituted in the first half last weekend and is named in goal for the Hammers, while the same defensive line in Vladimír Coufal, Ben Johnson, Kurt Zouma and Aaron Cresswell also features.
Declan Rice captains the team from midfield and is joined by Tomáš Souček, while Benrahma comes in alongside Pablo Fornals and Jarrod Bowen.
Michail Antonio leads the line for the Irons against his former side, having joined the Hammers from Forest in 2015. The attacker played 54 times in all competitions for the side, scoring 19 goals.
Cornet is one of eight options available from the substitutes bench to manager Moyes this afternoon, alongside fellow summer signing Gianluca Scamacca who made his debut last Sunday.
The duo are joined by goalkeepers Alphonse Areola and Darren Randolph, Harrison Ashby, Conor Coventry, Flynn Downes and Lanzini.
