West Ham United and Millwall have confirmed their starting lineups for Saturday’s Championship derby at The Den.
Nuno Espírito Santo has named an attacking West Ham side for the 12.30pm kick-off, with Joel Piroe and Taty Castellanos both starting.
Jarrod Bowen captains the Hammers, while Manor Solomon also features in a side looking to extend West Ham’s excellent Championship run.
Mads Hermansen starts in goal behind a defence of Kyle Walker-Peters, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Max Kilman and Morato.
Oliver Engels and Divine Mukasa are selected in midfield.
Nuno makes attacking call for Millwall derby
The biggest selection decision comes further forward.
Piroe and Taty both start, giving Nuno two recognised goalscorers for one of West Ham’s biggest fixtures of the season.
Walker-Peters also comes into the side after Joël Veltman was ruled out of the derby.
The Dutch defender’s absence was confirmed in our latest West Ham injury update.
West Ham’s selection represents an aggressive approach at The Den, with Bowen and Solomon providing further attacking threat around the two forwards.
Our predicted West Ham XI against Millwall had already identified Walker-Peters as the likely replacement for Veltman.
