Team News: Slaven Bilic drops Manuel Lanzini, Simone Zaza

Slaven Bilic makes four changes to his West Ham United side for the visit of Middlesbrough.

Slaven Bilic has made four changes to his West Ham United side for the visit of Middlesbrough this afternoon.

Manuel Lanzini and Simone Zaza have both been relegated to the bench as Bilic looks to arrest a run of form that has seen his side lose their last four games, including a 3-0 defeat to Southampton at the London Stadium last time out.

Pedro Obiang and Gokhan Tore both make the starting XI in a 4-1-4-1 formation that sees Michail Antonio lead the line.

The other two changes come in the back four as Havard Nordtveit and Alvaro Arbeloa make way for Sam Byram and James Collins.

For visiting Boro, Aitor Karanka makes three changes to the side that were defeated 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

Viktor Fischer, Jordan Rhodes and Adam Forshaw all earn places in the starting XI as Alvaro Negredo, Gaston Ramirez and Adam Clayton drop to the bench.

West Ham United: Adrian; Byram, Collins, Reid, Ogbonna; Obiang; Noble, Kouyate, Tore, Payet; Antonio
Subs: Randolph, Arbeloa, Feghouli, Lanzini, Zaza, Fletcher, Fernandes

Middlesbrough: Valdes; Barragan, Gibson, Chambers, Friend; Fischer, de Roon; Forshaw, Downing, Rhodes; Stuani
