Irons rotation name of the game

West Ham’s kids are almost certain to get a chance against Leeds in the FA Cup this weekendin a competitom which has become of marginal interest to many!.

The Hammers go into the third round of the tournament against their Premier League rivals and it’s very likely that David Moyes will look to rotate against the Whites.

The Hammers did not play in midweek but this feels like an ideal opportunity to bring some youngsters into the side to allow them the chance to show exactly what they can do.

The likes of Jamal Baptiste, Emmanuel Longelo and Harrison Ashby in defence, the recently returned Conor Coventry from his loan spell, and the forward Armstrong Okoflex could all be given the chance to play in claret and blue this weekend.

Leeds, by comparison, are also likely to bring a few youngsters in, according to Leeds Live.

So it could be two teams handing chances to their U23 diamonds, while there could also be minutes for the likes of Alex Kral, Alphonse Areola, Mark Noble and Andriy Yarmolenko.

The FA Cup, unfortunately, just isn’t at the top end of the priority list.
