Gold: ‘Hammers will field a strong team to win!’

West Ham Chairman David Gold has told West Ham fans that Slaven Bilic will field a strong team tomorrow night to win although he admitted there might be some changes.

Gold told his 123,000 twitter followers “I’m sure there will be a few changes but we will take a strong team to Leicester to WIN dg”

Whatever happens Michel Antonnio and Nikica Jelavic will not be included in tomorrow’s action as both are cup tied.

Antonio played in the League cup first round for Nottingham Forest scoring two late goals but it was not enough to overcome Walsall who won 4-3 after a 90th minute penalty.

Jelavic also played the first round of the League Cup for Hull City, after he played the first 60 minutes of the draw against Accrington Stanley before being substituted by Chuba Akpom. Hull eventually won the match 4-3 on penalties after drawing 2-2 after extra time. Jelavic took no part in the second round of the league cup when Hull beat Rochdale 1-0 to go through to the third round. Jelavic joined the Hammers just six days later.
