West Ham manager David Moyes has named an unchanged team for their game against Chelsea.

Moyes has stuck with the same XI that impressed in a 1-1 draw at Newcastle last weekend.

That means Thilo Kehrer has been passed fit and continues in defence, despite being withdrawn at half-time at St James’ Park.

Michail Antonio continues to lead the line and Lucas Paqueta again partners captain Declan Rice in midfield, with Tomas Soucek on the bench.

January signing Danny Ings is again a substitute as he is eased back from a knee injury. Gianluca Scamacca not yet fit enough to be involved.

Emerson Palmieri continues at left wing-back.

“We are seeing a little bit more consistency from Emerson now,” said Moyes. “We are beginning to see the form from the players we have brought in the summer. It has taken a little bit longer than we would have liked.”

Confirmed West Ham XI: Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Coufal, Rice, Paqueta, Emerson, Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma

Subs: Hegyi, Anang, Johnson, Fornals, Lanzini, Downes, Ings, Soucek

Date and time: Saturday, February 11 at 12.30pm GMT

Venue: London Stadium
