David Moyes also makes two alterations from West Ham. Zouma returns to captain the Hammers in the heart of defence after missing the weekend draw with Crystal Palace following a burglary at his home. The other change comes in goal with Fabianski replacing Alphonse Areola. The visitors remain without Michail Antonio, who is still coming back from a knee injury.<\/p>\n
