Bilic set to ring the changes
Slaven Bilic has reveled that Andy Carroll will miss the game as he can’t take three in a week and that his training regime has been changed to accommodate that.
There’s a likelihood to that Javier Hernandez will be given a break which leaves the way clear for Diafra Sakho (right) to start as the team looks to advance over the bottom of the table Championship outfit and continue a much needed Cup run.
Marko Arnautovic will presumably be given a start following his three game break and Mark Noble may return either as a starter or on the bench.
The Hammers could line up like this: Adrian; Byram, Reid, Ogbonna, Masuaku; Rice; Arnautovic, Kouyate, Obiang, Ayew, Sakho
