Team News: Robert Snodgrass makes full West Ham United debut

Snodgrass makes full West Ham debut

Robert Snodgrass makes his full debut for West Ham United as they travel to face Southampton this afternoon.

Also in the starting lineup is former Southampton captain Jose Fonte, as Slaven Bilic makes two changes to the side that were thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City in midweek.

Cheikhou Kouyate is the other player to come into the XI following his return from international duty with Senegal, while Manuel Lanzini falls to the bench and Sam Byram misses out after picking up a hamstring injury against City.

For the hosts, Claude Puel hands a debut to new signing Manolo Gabbiadini following his deadline-day move from Napoli in one of four changes from the 2-1 defeat to Swansea City on Tuesday.

Jay Rodriguez, James Ward-Prowse and Sofiane Boufal all return to the starting XI as Jordy Clasie, Shane Long and Nathan Redmond begin the game on the bench, while Dusan Tadic misses out entirely.

Southampton: Forster; Cedric, Stephens, Yoshida, Bertrand; Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Davis; Boufal, Gabbiadini, Rodriguez Subs: Clasie, Gardos, Long, Redmond, Hojbjerg, Taylor, McQueen

West Ham United: Randolph; Kouyate, Reid, Fonte; Antonio, Obiang, Noble, Cresswell; Feghouli, Snodgrass; Carroll Subs: Lanzini, Adrian, Collins, Fletcher, Calleri, Fernandes, Quina
