Midfield
Defensive Midfield - Mark Noble
Mark Noble is the captain and the longest-serving member of the West Ham squad. On the pitch, his determination and fighting attitude help lift his teammates' performances.

Right Midfield - Felipe Anderson
The silky Brazilian is one of the most high profile signings of the current transfer window and for West Ham, he is certainly one that can help elevate their performances this season. His dribbling, pace and skills will provide West Ham quality in the final third of the pitch. His 10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions last season speak for his ability.
Left Midfield - Manuel Lanzini
Over the last couple of seasons, Manuel Lanzini has been an important cog in the midfield machine at West Ham. He acts as the link between the defenders and the forward line, and Pellegrini will be looking at him to work similarly in a more withdrawn role. Last season, he worked well with Arnautović on the left-hand side and would look to take that partnership further. He knows the Premier League in and out, and with so many new-comers his experience will be vital for West Ham during the season.
