Team News: Enner Valencia starts for West Ham United against Swansea City

Enner Valencia makes his first West Ham United start in almost a month for Swansea City's Premier League visit to Upton Park.

Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia will make his first West Ham United start for almost a month in this afternoon's Premier League match against Swansea City.

Valencia is one of two changes made by Sam Allardyce from the midweek win at West Bromwich Albion, with Alex Song also back in the starting XI. Morgan Amalfitano and Mauro Zarate drop to the bench.

Diafra Sakho is fit again after a month out injured, but only makes the bench as Andy Carroll keeps his place in attack for the hosts.

Swansea, meanwhile, have one change in their starting lineup as Angel Rangel fills in for the suspended Neil Taylor at full-back.

West Ham: Adrian; Jenkinson, Tomkins, Reid, Cresswell; Song, Kouyate, Nolan; Downing, Carroll, Valencia
Subs: Jaaskelainen, O'Brien, Collins, Amalfitano, Cole, Zarate, Sakho

Swansea: Fabianski; Rangel, Williams, Bartley, Richards; Ki, Britton, Sigurdsson; Routledge, Bony, Montero
Subs: Tremmel, Amat, Tiendalli, Shelvey, Carroll, Dyer, Gomis
