West Ham travel to Whaddon Road tonight for their third round Carabao Cup clash against League Two Cheltenham Town.

The fixture sees the pair face off for the second time in the competition within a matter of years, with the duo clashing back in 2013 at the same stage.

On that day, the Hammers emerged victorious thanks to goals from Ravel Morrison and cult hero Ricardo Vaz Te, and current boss Slaven Bilic will be hoping for a similar – if not more comprehensive – result tonight against Gary Johnson’s side.

The Croatian’s side have had a tough opening to the new season, losing back to back games against both Manchester United and Swansea, meaning tonight’s game has an extra adage of importance for the East London side.

Bilic and his men will be looking for their first win of the season, not only to get them off the mark and into the next round, but as a much needed confidence boost ahead of the weekend’s clash against Newcastle United.

In order to secure a good win, the Hammers must field these three stars. Do you agree?
