Fixture: West Ham United vs Chelsea
Competition: EFL Cup
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)
West Ham United have named their team and substitutes to play host to Chelsea at the London Stadium in an EFL Cup tie this evening.
The Hammers are looking to progress into the quarter-finals of the competition, but face a Chelsea team that defeated Manchester United 4-0 at the weekend and are hitting form under Antonio Conte.
Looking to stop Chelsea in their tracks, West Ham boss Slaven Bilic picks Darren Randolph between the sticks, with Winston Reid and Angelo Ogbonna the central defensive pair protecting him. Mark Noble will look to dominate in midfield, while Manuel Lanzini and Dimitri Payet try and open the door further up the pitch. Michail Antonio also starts.
On the bench Bilic can turn to summer signing Andre Ayew if needed, while Ashley Fletcher is another attack minded option. Simone Zaza and Sofiane Feghouli are also amongst the substitutes.
