Lukasz Fabianski keeps his place ahead of Alphonse Areola for West Ham’s game against Wolves.

Areola was back on the bench in the Europa League on Thursday night but David Moyes has stuck with Fabianski. Areola is on the bench.

Moyes has made one change from the side which beat Freiburg 2-0, with Kurt Zouma returning at centre-back in place of Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Edson Alvarez is fit to start, having been withdrawn early in the second half on Thursday.

The Mexican missed last weekend's 5-0 defeat at Fulham through illness but has been one of the Irons' most reliable performers this term, and his availability is a major boost.

Otherwise, Moyes has a fully fit squad to choose from, with a Carabao Cup quarter-final away to Liverpool to come on Wednesday.

West Ham confirmed XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Alvarez, Bowen, Kudus, Paqueta.

Subs: Areola, Cresswell, Fornals, Mavropanos, Ings, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Kehrer, Mubama.

Time and date: 2pm GMT on Sunday 17 December, 2023

Venue: London Stadium
