West Ham have first-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski back in goal for the visit of Burnley this afternoon.

The Pole withdrew from the Hammers starting XI at Everton on New Year's Day with a thigh complaint and has been back in training ahead of the Clarets’ visit this week.

Said Benrahma struggled, along with most of his teammates, in the FA Cup win at Stockport on Monday but impressed with his work off the ball during the win at Goodison Park and keeps his place, with Michail Antonio coming in.

Youngster Mipo Odubeko, who is highly rated and made his first senior appearance in the dying minutes at Stockport, could be given a chance from the bench.

"I think he is somebody who we are looking forward to working with," said Moyes. "He is a young player who we have big hopes for."

Moyes is be without defender Fabian Balbuena once more as he is in isolation having come into contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus, so Craig Dawson continues at centre-back.
