Joel Piroe and Arne Engels have both been handed their full West Ham United debuts against Charlton Athletic as Nuno Espírito Santo makes four changes at London Stadium.
The Hammers are searching for their first Championship victory of the season after surrendering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Burnley last weekend.
Piroe comes straight into the attack alongside Taty Castellanos following his arrival from Leeds United, while £22million signing Engels makes his first appearance in central midfield.
Divine Mukasa is also involved for the first time following his loan return from Manchester City, with the teenager named among the substitutes on his 19th birthday.
West Ham make four changes against Charlton
Mads Hermansen retains his place in goal, with Kyle Walker-Peters, Konstantinos Mavropanos and captain Max Kilman continuing in defence.
El Hadji Malick Diouf replaces Ollie Scarles at left-back.
James Ward-Prowse also comes into midfield alongside Engels, meaning Lewis Orford and Mohamadou Kanté drop out of the starting XI after featuring at Turf Moor.
Jarrod Bowen and Manor Solomon continue in the wide positions.
The biggest change comes in attack.
West Ham completed Piroe’s move from Leeds earlier this week, and Nuno has wasted little time handing the proven Championship scorer his opportunity.
Piroe has scored 73 goals in 179 Championship appearances and now partners Castellanos as West Ham attempt to turn their attacking possession into more consistent goals.
Engels’ inclusion is equally significant.
The Belgium international missed the Burnley draw because his registration had not been completed in time, but his expected debut was one of the major decisions highlighted in our West Ham predicted XI.
Nuno now has both of his major new additions available from the opening whistle.
West Ham XI: Hermansen; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf; Bowen, Ward-Prowse, Engels, Solomon; Piroe, Castellanos.
