Big reshuffle on cards for Irons

The fixture squeeze is on with the Hammers receiving Charlton Athletic to the London Stadium tomorrow night for the opening game of the Carabao Cup.

And we are bound to see a much-changed line-up as the club again attempts to make a much-required impact on a major Cup competition.

The Addicks got away to a decent start away from home on Saturday when, after relegation to League One, they beat Crewe Alexandra with goals from Alfie Doughty and debutante Conor Washington.

Irons boss David Moyes will surely hand a chance to Josh Cullen in midfield – presumably at the expense of Mark Noble – to impress against his former loan club.

Elsewhere, Darren Randolph will presumably take over in goal from Lukaz Fabianski and Ben Johnson at right-back from Ryan Fredericks although a clue on that will come should the youngster be included for this afternoon’s under- 23 game against Chelsea.

Fabian Balbuena will be drafted into centre defence – probably for Issa Diop – and Arthur Masuaku looks set for his first outing of the campaign.

Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek will no doubt be rested although Conor Coventry, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Lanzini (perhaps both which would be interesting) and Haller could be in the starting line up.

Here’s a possible team: Randolph; Johnson, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Masuaku; Coventry, Cullen, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Lanzini, Haller.
