Manuel Pellegrini has made two changes to his Manchester City team as he looks to keep the pressure up on Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Gael Clichy and Jesus Navas make their way into the starting XI with Aleksandar Kolarov and James Milner dropping to the bench from the team that drew 2-2 with CSKA Moscow.

That means that Fernando keeps his place ahead of Fernandinho and Eliaquim Mangala retains his spot ahead of Martin Demichelis.

Sam Allardyce has opted to keep the same West Ham team that beat Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor.

LINE-UPS:

West Ham: Adrian, Cresswell, Reid, Collins, Jenkinson, Song, Amalfitano, Noble, Downing, Valencia, Sakho.

Subs: Jaaskelainen, Kouyate, Vaz Te, O'Brien, Poyet, Cole, Nolan.

Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Toure, Navas, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko.

Subs: Caballero, Kolarov, Demichelis, Sagna, Fernandinho, Jovetic, Milner.
