Dev Squad ready for Play-off push

The Hammers host Stoke City in their final home league game of the season
West Ham United’s Development Squad host Stoke City in their final home league game of the season on Monday 4 April, knowing a win will strengthen their play-off chances.

Currently fifth, just three points off tomorrow’s opponents Stoke,  the Hammers are looking to fend off the chasing pack which includes Swansea City, West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers, all of whom have games in hand.

Earlier in the season, the Potters came from a goal down to win 2-1 in the reverse fixture back in September thanks to late goals from Dominic Telford and Yusuf Oban.

Now, Terry Westley’s men will be looking to avenge that defeat and go in to tomorrow’s encounter full of confidence having progressed to the Barclays U21 Premier League Cup final with Hull City, having beaten Liverpool in the semis.

Kick off at Rush Green Stadium is 7pm, admission is FREE for all fans.

Following Monday’s encounter, the young Hammers travel to title-challenging Aston Villa on Monday 11 April in their final game of the 2015/16 league season.
