Charlie Austin has been named in Southampton's starting XI for their Premier League trip to West Ham United.

The England striker makes his first appearance since suffering a hamstring tear against Huddersfield Town on December 23.

Mark Hughes has made two changes, with Austin partnering Manolo Gabbiadini up front as James Ward-Prowse and Guido Carrillo drop out.

David Moyes also makes two alterations as Declan Rice - fresh from his Republic of Ireland debut - starts, as does Arthur Masuaku, who is back from his six-game spitting ban.
