Team news
West Ham
The hosts have been handed a huge boost thanks to the return of Sofiane Feghouli's, who red card vs Man Utd on Monday was revoked by the FA. Captain Mark Noble is also expected to start, and the same case applies to Andy Carroll who could replace Dimitri Payet who had a poor showing in their previous fixture against the red devils.

Match forecast
West Ham United are expected to bounce back following their dissapointing outing against Man Utd when referee Mike Dean ruined the show for the hosts. And since Pep is firmly contending for the league title despite the recent inconsitencies, he may decide to bench some of his key players in this tie. Pep's men seem to have set the foot off the pedal in the recent past and a trip to the London Olympic stadium could fail to yield the expected results. A win for the Hammers is the most probable result here.
