Michail Antonio is handed his first West Ham United start by Slaven Bilic for today's Premier League clash with Stoke City.

Michail Antonio is handed his first West Ham United start by Slaven Bilic for today's Premier League clash with Stoke City.

With Victor Moses the latest casualty on a lengthening injury list for the Hammers, the former Nottingham Forest winger comes in for his full debut in one of two changes to Bilic's side.

The other alteration is in defence, where Winston Reid's hamstring injury means that James Collins comes into the backline as West Ham look to keep up their push for a European spot.

With Diafra Sakho still out and Enner Valencia fit enough only for a place on the bench, Andy Carroll leads the line for the home side ahead of Antonio and Mauro Zarate in attack, while Manuel Lanzini has not recovered from a thigh problem.

For the visitors, there is a blow as winger Xherdan Shaqiri is absent from the squad altogether, with Marco van Ginkel coming in to replace the Swiss in Mark Hughes's only change to the side which beat Manchester City 2-0 last time out.

Marko Arnautovic, who scored both of the Potters' goals last weekend, again starts in attack alongside Bojan, while Marc Muniesa is again missing with a hamstring issue.

West Ham United: Adrian; Tomkins, Collins, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Noble, Kouyate, Song; Antonio, Zarate; Carroll
Subs: Randolph, Jenkinson, Obiang, Oxford, Cullen, Valencia, Jelavic

Stoke City: Butland; Johnson, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Pieters; Cameron, Whelan; Van Ginkel, Afellay, Arnautovic; Bojan
Subs: Haugaard, Bardsley, Joselu, Adam, Wilson, Diouf, Walters
