This evening it’s a doubleheader of action, with David Moyes splitting the squad in two, Moyes is at Leyton Orient with one team with another team up at Northampton Town.
West Ham United: Darren Randolph, Harrison Ashby, Angelo Ogbonna, Jamal Baptiste, Aaron Cresswell, Ben Johnson, Mark Noble (c), Pierre Ekwah, Armstrong Oko-Flex, Michail Antonio, Xande Silva
Subs: Jacob Knighbridge (GK), Freddie Potts, Amadou Diallo, Daniel Chesters, Mesaque Dju, Will Greenidge
At Sixfields Stadium Craig Dawson wears the captain’s armband, while Ryan Fredericks, Jarrod Bowen and Manu Lanzini provide the senior experience in an otherwise youthful lineup. You should recognise almost all of the names in the starting XI, as only Frederik Alves and Keenan Forson have not appeared for the first team in a competitive fixture. In central midfield, keep an eye on Forson, an energetic 19-year-old who has caught the eye of his Academy coaches and will line up alongside his U23s captain Conor Coventry in front of the back four.
West Ham United: Nathan Trott, Ryan Fredericks, Frederick Alves, Craig Dawson (c), Ali Alese, Keenan Forson, Conor Coventry, Manuel Lanzini, Jarrod Bowen, Nathan Holland, Mipo Odubeko
