Oxford Utd vs West Ham
Carabao Cup 2019/20
Venue: Kassam Stadium
Date: Wednesday, 25 September, 2019
Kick-off time: 7:45pm BST
West Ham are in a confident mood as they take on Oxford United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.
The Hammers started the season with a 5-0 home defeat to Manchester City, but have been on the up since then, going undefeated to sit fifth in the Premier League.
Having beaten Manchester United 2-0 at London Stadium on Sunday, fans are beginning to dream of a potential push for European football - and a strong run in the cup would be a welcome addition to the Manuel Pellegrini era.
West Ham team news and predicted lineup
Declam Rice is unlikely to feature at Oxford as Pellegrini shuffles his pack with the likes of Roberto, Fabian Balbuena, Carlos Sanchez and Albian Ajeti all pushing for rare starts.
West Ham XI: Roberto, Zabaleta, Diop, Balbuena, Cresswell, Sanchez, Wilshere, Fornals, Snodgrass, Anderson, Ajeti
Prediction: Oxford Utd 1-3 West Ham
Oxford have rallied after a poor start in League One and are unbeaten in their last three outings, but the U's still sit 12th in the table - this one should be a simple away win.
