West Ham are currently holding off announcing the annual pre-season Betway cup until the situation on supporters is known.

Last year the Hammers hosted the game without supporters against Bournemouth but are desperate to get fans back for this year’s game at the London Stadium.

They hope the government will announce a lifting of social distancing allowing a full capacity crowd back in Stratford.

The inaugural tournament was held in 2015 at West Ham’s previous home the Boleyn Ground, with the second tournament taking place at the London Stadium in 2016.

The Hammers have only won the Cup they invented themselves once on penalties over the past six years.

2016 West Ham 2 v Juventus 3  (London Stadium)
