Team News: Antonio and Bowen spearhead Hammers at Derby

West Ham United boss David Moyes makes six changes to his side for Monday night's Emirates FA Cup fourth round tie at Derby County.

Alphonse Areola, Ben Johnson, Thilo Kehrer, Tomáš Souček, Flynn Downes and Pablo Fornals are all called into the starting Xi as the Hammers aim for a spot in the competition's last 16.

Moyes' side includes plenty of experience, with Angelo Ogbonna taking the captain's armband for the 17th FA Cup appearance of his seven-and-a-half year Claret and Blue career.

At the attacking end of the pitch, the Hammers' two starting forwards have both enjoyed playing Derby in the past, with Jarrod Bowen having notched two career goals previously against the Rams, while Michail Antonio has registered three assists.

They will be supported by Fornals, Downes and Souček in midfield, with wing-backs Ben Johnson and Emerson - a two-time FA Cup finalist with Chelsea - providing width.

Ogbonna will be joined by FA Cup debutant Kehrer and Nayef Aguerd in the centre of West Ham's defence, with Areola having recovered from his recent hip injury and fit to start in goal.

Academy centre-back Levi Laing is named in a senior squad for the first time and he is joined on the bench by fellow youngster Divin Mubama.

Their youth is complemented by the experience of Łukasz Fabiański, Vladimir Coufal, Aaron Cresswell, Declan Rice, Manuel Lanzini, Paquetá and Saïd Benrahma as Moyes' substitutes.
