Team News

AFC Wimbledon
West Ham
  • AFC Wimbledon are expected to make slight changes to the side that lost 2-1 at home to Sunderland on Saturday.
  • The League One outfit have a full squad to pick from ahead of their welcome of West Ham.
  • West Ham have made a disasterous start to life under Manuel Pellegrini, losing their first three games and shipping a lot of goals in the process.
  • The Hammers are expected to ring the changes for their potential banana-skin EFL Cup tie with League One side AFC Wimbledon.
  • Marko Arnautovic picked up a muscle injury against Arsenal on Saturday and will almost certainly not feature for the away side here.
  • Michail Antonio also suffered a knock at the weekend and isn't expected to be risked here.
  • A back injury ruled Mark Noble out against the Gunners and he remains a doubt, while Andy Reid, Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll are long-term absentees.

Prediction

  • AFC Wimbledon's unbeaten start to the season lasted four matches (W2,D2). The League One side have now lost successive matches but did take the lead against Sunderland at the weekend.
  • West Ham have conceded nine goals in their first three matches of the season, losing them all. This is a potential banana-skin game for the Hammers and a humilating cup upset would heap more pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini.
  • Even if Pellegrini rings the changes, as he is expected to do, West Ham should have more than enough to come through this EFL Cup tie. Whether they do so comfortably is another question, however.
