Here is how we predict West Ham United and Chelsea will line up this week:

To be played on Wednesday 26th October 2016 at 18:45. Venue: Olympic Stadium,

Odds: West Ham 10/3, Draw 29/10, Chelsea 3/4

West Ham United welcome Chelsea to the London Stadium on Wednesday evening for their EFL Cup fourth round clash.

The Hammers look to have turned a corner after recording back-to-back 1-0 victories in the Premier League and now they have the chance to reach the quarter-finals of a domestic cup competition.

That said, Chelsea will be on a high after their 4-0 demolition of Manchester United on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see which of the players involved that day get a run-out in midweek.

West Ham are likely to give some fringe players a chance, with Ashley Fletcher and Jonathan Calleri both set to come in, while Reece Oxford also deserves a run-out.

Chelsea should start summer signing Michy Batshuayi after he came off the bench against United, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek can also expect another appearance having impressed in the past.

With that in mind here is how we expect West Ham and Chelsea to line up later this week:
