Oona Siren has been handed a start as West Ham United Women face Manchester United in the Women’s Super League.
Rita Guarino has made two changes from the side beaten 1-0 by Everton in West Ham’s previous league fixture.
Siren comes into the XI with Riko Ueki unavailable, while Eva Nyström replaces Laia Codina in defence.
Ueki’s absence was expected after Guarino confirmed through West Ham’s official website that the Japan international would miss a few weeks with the injury suffered against Everton.
Our West Ham Women predicted XI vs Manchester United had expected Ebony Salmon to replace Ueki, but Guarino has instead brought Siren into the starting side.
West Ham Women XI vs Manchester United
West Ham: Picaud-Inconnu; Riesen, Nyström, Cascarino, Belloumou; Zelem (c), Kumagai, Siren; Piubel, Asseyi, Gago.
Subs: Dowsett, Endo, Codina, Tennebø, Salmon, Wareing, Peacock, Wandeler, Oztas.
Katie Zelem therefore captains West Ham against her former club, with Saki Kumagai retaining her place alongside her.

West Ham are looking for only their second WSL victory over United, with our Manchester United Women vs West Ham Women head-to-head record showing the Hammers have won one of the previous 13 league meetings.
Kick-off is at 1pm BST at the Progress With Unity Stadium. Supporters can find full viewing information in our Man Utd Women vs West Ham Women TV and live-stream guide.
