Team News: Victor Moses to start for West Ham United against Newcastle United

Victor Moses makes his West Ham United debut after signing on loan from Chelsea for Monday evening's Premier League clash against Newcastle United.

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has named Victor Moses among his starters for the Hammers' Premier League clash against Newcastle United at Upton Park.

The Nigerian striker, on loan from Chelsea, is the only change for the hosts as he replaces midfielder Pedro Obiang in Bilic's starting XI, with Mark Noble available after his red card against Liverpool was rescinded.

New signings Nikica Jelavic and Michail Antonio are named on the bench, alongside the fit-again Andy Carroll, while Alex Song, back on another loan deal at Upton Park, misses out with an ankle injury.

Magpies boss Steve McClaren also makes just one change to his side as the suspended Aleksandar Mitrovic, shown a straight red in his side's defeat against Arsenal before the international break, makes way for Papiss Cisse.

West Ham United: Randolph, Tomkins, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Noble, Kouyate, Moses, Payet, Lanzini, Sakho
Subs: Spiegel, Carroll, Jenkinson, Obiang, Collins, Jelavic, Antonio

Newcastle United: Krul, Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini, Haidara, Colback, Anita, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Thauvin, Cisse
Subs: Darlow, De Jong, Gouffran, Obertan, Lascelles, Aarons, Perez
