West Ham have named Michail Antonio in their starting line-up to face Nottingham Forest today.

Kalvin Phillips also returns as David Moyes looks to spruce up his side following a dreadful 6-0 hammering at the hands of Arsenal last time out.

The Hammers have now gone seven matches without a win across all competitions since the turn of the year, with uncertainty over Moyes’ future growing as he enters the final months of his contract without an extension being confirmed.

Antonio’s return to fitness for the first time since November is, however, a significant boost, and Kurt Zouma and is in the XI too despite coming off at half-time against Arsenal.

Edson Alvarez alsos starts despite having also picked up a knock a week ago, with Tomas Soucek on the bench.

Lucas Paqueta is back in training following a calf problem, but Moyes confirmed in his pre-match press conference that the Brazilian is not yet ready to be involved.

West Ham XI: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Alvarez, Phillips, Ward-Prowse; Bowen, Antonio, Kudus

Subs: Fabianski, Johnson, Cresswell, Ogbonna, Cornet, Ings, Mubama, Soucek, Mavropanos

Injured: Paqueta
