New Boys To Feature

West Ham fans can expect to see new signings Ravzan Rat, Adrian and Danny Whitehead to have some involvement in their team's Capital One Cup tie against Cheltenham Town Fc tonight. Hammers fans will be eager to see how the new players will perform as they haven't really featured in the opening two fixtures of the Premier League campaign.

It was also confirmed that Ravel Morrison will start, after his fine performances in pre-season; many have predicted Morrison to make the breakthrough into the first team, sooner rather than later.

Rotation in the squad is always predicted in the early cup fixtures so many unfamiliar faces will be put out prove their abilities. If the squad manages to comfortably get through this tie then more chances will hopefully be issued out, within the last few years we have released many youth players who were not good enough, our performances in cup games would back that statement up.

Could this be the year when youth and fringe players show us their talents?
