Papiss Cisse has been recalled to the Newcastle United starting lineup for their crucial final-day clash with West Ham United in the Premier League.

Cisse, who is their top scorer, has replaced Ayoze Perez in the team, while there is also a recall for centre-back Mike Williamson.

Vurnon Anita has also been recalled in place of attacking midfielder Remy Cabella, who sits on the bench alongside Siem De Jong and Yoan Gouffran.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has recalled Kevin Nolan against his former club, while youngster Reece Burke starts in place of the injured James Collins.

Newcastle United: Krul, Janmaat, Coloccini, Williamson, Dummett, Sissoko, Anita, Colback, Gutierrez, Riviere, Cisse
Subs: Woodman, R.Taylor, Gouffran, Ameobi, Cabella, de Jong, Perez

West Ham United: Adrian, Jenkinson, Burke, Reid, Cresswell, Song, Kouyate, Valencia, Nolan, Downing, Cole
Subs: Jaaskeläinen, Tomkins, Jarvis, de Carvalho, O'Brien, Amalfitano, Lee
