Team News: Manuel Lanzini returns to West Ham United starting lineup

Lanzini returns to West Ham starting lineup

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has recalled Manuel Lanzini to the starting lineup for the Premier League fixture with Sunderland.

The return of the Argentine is one of several changes made by Bilic, who has also brought back goalkeeper Adrian and full-back Sam Byram.

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce, who is making his first appearance at Upton Park since leaving the Hammers last summer, has named an unchanged side after the Black Cats registered a 2-1 victory over Manchester United two weeks ago.

The North-East outfit will move out of the relegation zone if they can avoid defeat in East London.

West Ham United: Adrian, Byram, Collins, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Noble, Kouyate, Antonio, Payet, Lanzini, Emenike Subs: Randolph, Henry, Oxford, Song, Obiang, Moses, Carroll

Sunderland: Mannone, Yedlin, Kone, O'Shea, van Aanholt, Kirchhoff, Cattermole, M'Vila, Khazri, N'Doye, Defoe Subs: Pickford, Jones, Rodwell, Kaboul, Toivonen, Larsson, Borini
