Hammers closing in on full Man City house

|

West Ham look set to be backed by a capacity – or very near capacity crowd- for the clash with Manchester City in the Carabao Cup.

After selling 10 thousand on the first day tickets – at knockdown prices are moving fast – and a minimum 50,000 crowd is expected for the fourth round game On October 25.

Manchester City – as part-recipients of the gate money – agreed to the decision to sell tickets cheaply with kids being allowed in for £1 and adult tickets priced at £10 and £25.

For the Hammers to win they will need to break an iron hold on the Cup by City which has seen them win the trophy on the last four occasion.

They have beaten Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Spurs and if we are to win one would imagine we will need to put out our strongest team.

However, that may prove unlikely with David Moyes prioritising the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League competitions.
