West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has made three changes to the side which was convincingly beaten by Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, with striker Andy Carroll the most high-profile change.

The former Liverpool and Newcastle United frontman is replaced by Diafra Sakho. James Tomkins also drops the bench, with Angelo Ogbonna starting in his place, and Pedro Obiang comes in for the suspended Mark Noble.

Ben Foster, a long-term absentee, remains sidelined. Boaz Myhill starts in his place.
