Jarrod Bowen starts and Airidas Golambeckis comes in for Airidas Golambeckis as West Ham United host West Brom at the London Stadium this afternoon.

Captain and top scorer Bowen picked up an ankle issue at Rush Green this week but has been passed fit to keep his run of consecutive league starts going.

Konstantinos Mavropanos faces a few weeks on the sidelines, in contrast. In the absence of the Greek giant, teenager Airidas Golambeckis makes his second Championship start in West Ham United colours.

The England U20 international partners Max Kilman. Kyle Walker-Peters retains his spot after scoring a stunning goal against Southampton. Joel Veltman, who was a doubt, is among the substitutes.

Edvin Austbo is handed a rare start himself, meanwhile. Manor Solomon has been in poor form recently and is dropped alongside Taty Castellanos, following his dismal showing against The Saints.

Pablo comes in for Taty. Mohamadou Kante keeps his spot ahead of Tomas Soucek. Soucek is on the bench alongside Sountougou Magassa, who is yet to feature in a competitive setting this season.
