Reserves head to Watford

Reserve team coach Kevin Keen has again named a young starting-line-up ahead of tonight's trip to Watford.

Goalkeeper Stephen Bywater is the only Hammer involved with first-team experience, while schoolboy defender Robbie Blackwell makes his second reserve appearance in the space of two days, as do Jack Collison, Sekou Baradji, Zavon Hines, Hogan Ephraim and Kyel Reid, following Monday night's 1-1 draw with Fulham.

Keen also includes two trialists in his team - defenders Marcel McKie, from Tottenham, and Jack Haverson, from Ipswich Town.

The game kicks-off at 7.00pm and takes place at Boreham Wood FC's Meadow Park stadium. Hammers will be hoping to make up for their 3-0 defeat in the corresponding fixture against Watford - which took place just eight days ago at Dagenham and Redbridge.

Hammers: Bywater, Blackwell, McKie, Ngala, Haverson, Collison, Ephraim, Baradji, Jeffery, Hines, Reid. Subs: Stanislas, Blackmore, Hunt, Sears.
