A place in the EFL Cup fourth round is on the line when West Ham United host Fulham at the London Stadium on Tuesday night.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are in superb form, having won each of their last four matches, including a 6-0 thrashing of Wrexham last time out to go top of the Championship.
As a result, the Hammers head into Tuesday’s clash full of confidence, facing Premier League opposition for the first time since relegation in May.
Finlay Herrick started in goal for the last cup outing against Southampton, but with Nuno expected to field a strong side, Mads Hermansen could return between the sticks.
Joel Veltman’s injury means Kyle Walker-Peters is expected to start at right-back after his superb Wrexham display, which saw him notch two assists, with Morato on the left.
Max Kilman and Konstantinos Mavropanos are set to complete the back four after helping West Ham to a second clean sheet in three games last time out.
Divine Mukasa and Arne Engels have impressed in midfield and are likely to continue their partnership against Fulham.
Manor Solomon returned to the starting XI against Wrexham, scoring and assisting, and should retain his place to face his former club.
Captain Jarrod Bowen has been ever-present this season and, after a man-of-the-match display last time out, is set to start again.
Up front, Joel Piroe and Taty Castellanos both scored against Wrexham, so Pablo Felipe is likely to remain among the substitutes.
Predicted West Ham United XI (4-4-2): Hermansen; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Morato; Bowen, Mukasa, Engels, Solomon; Piroe, Castellanos
