Charlie predicts Hammers cup joy

Sky pundit Charlie Nicholas believes West Ham can overcome a weakened Spurs team on Halloween predicting  a 2-1 win for the  Hammers .

The Scot is one of the more logical of our merry band of pundits and believes Spurs will ring the sort of changes which will work in the Irons favour.

Writing on SkySports.com Charlie says “Playing on Monday night forces Mauricio Pochettino’s hand here as he’ll have to make big changes and give the youngsters a run out because the squad just isn’t big enough.

“It’s a tough one for him now as even winning this competition won’t really prove anything as he’s lifted Spurs to challenging for the title and playing in the Champions League.

I still think West Ham are improving generally and they’re another team who should be going all out to win this thing so because of that and the changes Spurs will have to make, I think the Hammers can get through.

CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-1″
