West Ham United are in Carabao Cup action on Tuesday night, as they take on League One side Bolton Wanderers at the London Stadium.
The Hammers beat Cheltenham Town in the last round of the competition to set up a Third Round clash with Bolton, as Slaven Bilic looks to pick up a victory.
After beating Huddersfield Town 2-0 last Monday night for their first league win of the season, West Ham picked up a point with a 0-0 draw at West Brom on Saturday.
Tuesday’s clash with Bolton gives Bilic a chance to rotate his side, with summer signing Sead Haksabanovic possibly hoping to make his first start for the club.
Haksabanovic, 18, joined West Ham from Swedish side Halmstads after hitting 13 goals in 70 games, and the Hammers now hope that he can develop into a first-team star.
The midfielder, who already has one cap for Montenegro to his name, hasn’t featured for the West Ham first team yet, and fans believe that facing Bolton gives Bilic the ideal chance to play him.
Fans took to Twitter to name their ideal line-ups for the game against Bolton, and many included Haksabanovic in their side, believing this is the perfect opportunity to see him in action.
Others have noticed that Haksabanovic wasn’t in the West Ham Under-23 side against Liverpool this evening, suggesting that he could be in the squad for Tuesday night – and fans are begging to see him in action alongside fellow youngster Nathan Holland.
