Team News: Manuel Lanzini on bench for West Ham United

Manuel Lanzini on bench for West Ham

West Ham United midfielder Manuel Lanzini has been named on the bench for the FA Cup clash with Blackburn Rovers.

The Argentine has been absent in recent weeks due to injury, but Slaven Bilic has welcomed him back into the fold for the trip to Ewood Park.

Bilic has made a total of four alterations, with January signing Emmanuel Emenike being handed a place in the starting lineup for the first time.

Blackburn boss Paul Lambert has decided to make five changes to the team that defeated Fulham 3-0 in midweek.

Jordi Gomez has dropped down to the substitutes' bench, while Danny Graham is cup-tied having already featured for Sunderland earlier in the competition.

Chris Taylor and Craig Conway are two of the players to come into the team as Rovers look to replicate their efforts of last year when they beat Premier League duo Stoke City and Swansea City.

Blackburn Rovers: Steele, Marshall, Duffy, Ward, Henley, Bennett, Lenihan, Akpan, Conway, Taylor, Brown Subs: Raya, Kilgallon, Hanley, Watt, Gomez, Evans, Jackson

West Ham United: Randolph, Cresswell, Kouyate, Obiang, Noble, Collins, Moses, Ogbonna, Payet, Emenike, Antonio Subs: Adrian, Song, Henry, Lanzini, Oxford, Parfitt-Williams, Browne
