# West Ham Predicted XI: Sheffield United (A)

[David Moyes](https://readwestham.com/2020/11/20/david-moyes-antonio-rice-five-subs-west-ham-blades/) could be sweating on the fitness of Michail Antonio when [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2020/11/20/david-moyes-antonio-rice-five-subs-west-ham-blades/) visit Sheffield United this afternoon on their return to Premier League action.

The 30-year-old is on the brink of returning from a hamstring injury which saw him miss two matches before the break but [faces a late test](https://www.claretandhugh.info/antonio-set-to-face-late-test/) before a decision is made on whether he will feature at Bramall Lane.

Moyes’ men will be hopeful of moving up the table in the coming weeks after safely navigating a tough run of fixtures in the early stages of the campaign, starting with a win in Yorkshire today.

West Ham are likely to be without Andriy Yarmolenko, who [tested positive for COVID-19](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/andriy-yarmolenko-west-ham-united-19283771)whilst away with Ukraine, while Fabien Balbuena may be rested after arriving back from South America this week.

Angelo Ogbonna and Mark Noble are [back in training](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/players/west-ham-latest-injury-news-19249373) and should be available to the manager, while Said Benrahma could be in line for his [first Irons start](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/said-benrahma/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/290532/verein/379) this afternoon.

Here’s how we think the Hammers will line up as we anticipate three changes from the team which [started the win over Fulham](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3421752) a fortnight ago…
