West Ham United's Under-18 squad left no stone unturned in their preparations for their FA Youth Cup fourth-round tie against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Academy Director Tony Carr and U18s coach Nick Haycock put the players through their paces in a specially-arranged training session at the Boleyn Ground ahead of the match.
The Hammers play host to the Seagulls after overcoming Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 at Molineux in the third around and will be confident of overcoming Danny Hinshelwood's side and reaching the last-16. The official website was on hand to capture exclusive images as the squad made their final preparations for the big game.
