Team News: Dimitri Payet makes first West Ham United competitive start against Astra Giurgiu

New West Ham United midfielder Dimitri Payet makes his first competitive start for the Hammers in their Europa League qualifier against Astra Giurgiu at Upton Park.

West Ham United midfielder Dimitri Payet has been included in his new side's starting XI ahead of their Europa League third qualifying-round clash against Astra Giurgiu at Upton Park.

The 28-year-old, signed from Marseille this summer, makes his first competitive start for the Hammers, one of four changes to the side that lost 1-0 against Birkirkara in Malta last week.

Slaven Bilic's charges have won just one of their previous four games against Romanian opposition in Europe, drawing one and losing two, and failing to score in each of their last three.

Meanwhile Astra have made just one change from their 2-1 defeat against Universitatea Craiova, with Cristian Oros making way for Valerica Gaman in defence.

West Ham: Adrian, Cresswell, Kouyate, Zarate, Noble, O'Brien, Collins, Ogbonna, Payet, Valencia, Oxford
Subs: Spiegel, Burke, Nolan, Poyet, Jarvis, Samuelsen, Maiga

Astra: Lung, Queiros, Gaman, Alves, Maranhao, Enache, Seto, William, Budescu, Teixera, Boldrin
Subs: Garvilas, Oros, Dandea, Alves, Stan, Lovin, Florea
