Team News: Is this how West Ham will line up against Newcastle?

After the business we did on deadline day it’s difficult to know exactly how Slaven Bilic will line up his team tonight.

Will he address the lack of width in our first two home meetings by bringing in Victor Moses and Michail Antonio, or will he stick with the side that comfortably thrashed Liverpool two weeks ago?

1. Darren Randolph

The rock at the back. Some will say he’s unlucky to have missed out on the captaincy.

16. Mark Noble

West Ham’s new skipper. Scored two in two and will be looking to lead the Hammers to back-to-back victories.

14. Pedro Obiang

Has had an impressive start but will need to continue good form if he’s to keep Alex Song out of the team once he’s fit.

28. Manuel Lanzini

Quick off the mark at Anfield and enjoyed an impressive Premier League debut. Some would drop him for either Moses or Antonio, but would be unfair.

27. Dimitri Payet

The most outstanding player in the squad right now. Every will go through the Frenchman in attack.

15. Diafra Sakho

Got his first Premier League goal of the season against Liverpool and will want to add to that tonight. Will no doubt make way for Andy Carroll or Nikica Jelavic in the second half, but will undoubtedly be first choice striker this season.
