Team News: Hammers unchanged for Canaries clash

Sebastien Haller and Issa Diop celebrate at Watford


Manuel Pellegrini names an unchanged starting XI for Saturday’s Premier League clash with newly-promoted Norwich City.

Sebastien Haller starts up front again, fresh from his brace in last weekend’s 3-1 victory at Watford, while the Hammers are looking to register a third consecutive victory in all competitions.

The Frenchman will be supported in attack by Andriy Yarmolenko, Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini, who penned a new long-term deal with the club on Friday.

Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna start in the heart of defence, with Ryan Fredericks and Arthur Masuaku completing the back four in front of Lukasz Fabianski.

Declan Rice and skipper Mark Noble, who got off the mark for the campaign at Watford, fill the central midfield roles.

Robert Snodgrass comes on to the bench in place of Michail Antonio, who suffered a hamstring injury at Newport County in midweek.
