West Ham United substitutes: Fabianski, Cresswell, Cardoso, Coventry, Noble, Anderson, Haller.
West Ham head to the Kassam Stadium tonight for their third-round Carabao Cup tie, and will be hoping to avoid a shock after seeing London rivals Spurs go out to Colchester United last night.

Pablo Zabaleta, Fabian Balbuena and Arthur Masuaku come into the defence, with Issa Diop keeping his place in the back four from the team that beat Manchester United 2-0 on Sunday.
Jack Wilshere starts alongside Carlos Sanchez in central midfield, whilst Pablo Fornals is given another start as an attacking midfielder having shown some promise against United.
Robert Snodgrass and Nathan Holland start out wide, with 21-year-old Holland finally given a first start for the club having impressed with their Under-23’s.
Summer signing Albian Ajeti leads the line tonight, meaning Sebastian Haller is on the bench, alongside other first-team regulars Fabianski, Aaron Cresswell, Mark Noble and Felipe Anderson, with youngsters Goncalo Cardoso and Conor Coventry also on the bench.
