West Ham confirmed XI: David Moyes makes six changes to face AEK Larnaca

The full team news from the London Stadium as West Ham United prepare to face AEK Larnaca on Thursday evening, hoping to record a victory in the second leg of their Europa Conference League round of 16 tie to book a place into the quarter-finals (8:00pm kick-off)

West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face AEK Larnaca at the London Stadium.

The  Hammers  will look to return to winning ways and pick up their tenth consecutive win in the Europa Conference League during the second leg of their round of 16 tie, having drawn 1-1 with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.

As the Irons look to end their final game for 17 days with a victory, Moyes has made six changes to face Larnaca from the side that were held at home by Villa on Sunday.

As Moyes shuffles the pack from the draw with Villa, only Kurt Zouma keeps his place in the back four. Ben Johnson, Angelo Ogbonna and Aaron Cresswell all come into the defence to play alongside French centre-back Zouma.

Manuel Lanzini and Alphonse Areola keep their places as starting all ten matches in this competition this season, with Lanzini playing in midfield alongside Lucas Paqueta and Tomas Soucek.

Pablo Fornals and Gianluca Scamacca also come into the starting side, with Declan Rice, Said Benrahma, Danny Ings, Thilo Kehrer, Nayef Aguerd and Emerson all start on the bench.

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski remains out of action after undergoing an eye operation earlier this month. Right-back Vladimir Coufal is also sidelined with a heel issue, while striker Michail Antonio is absent with a calf injury sustained after scoring both goals in the first leg.

Midfielder Flynn Downes is absent due to suspension, after picking up his third European booking of the season a week ago.

With four senior players absent, academy goalkeeper Krisztian Hegyi, centre-back Levi Laing and midfielder Freddie Potts and Divin Mubama have all made the bench.

Meanwhile, Larnaca boss Jose Luis Oltra has made six changes from the side that lost 1-0 to Apollon on Monday in the Cypriot First Division.

West Ham United starting XI: Alphonse Areola; Ben Johnson, Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Tomas Soucek, Manuel Lanzini, Lucas Paqueta; Jarrod Bowen, Gianluca Scamacca, Pablo Fornals

Substitutes: Joseph Anang, Krisztian Hegyi, Thilo Kehrer, Nayef Aguerd, Emerson, Levi Laing, Declan Rice, Said Benrahma, Freddie Potts, Danny Ings, Maxwel Cornet, Divin Mubama
