Chicharito

Chicharito leads the line for West Ham United as they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday night.

The Mexico striker, who netted in the second round victory against AFC Wimbledon, will be supported by Academy youngster Grady Diangana, Michail Antonio and Felipe Anderson in attack as the Hammers look to reach the quarter-finals for a third consecutive year.

Manuel Pellegrini makes just five changes to the side which drew at Leicester City on Saturday, with Adrian skippering the team in goal.

Pedro Obiang returns from injury to start in midfield alongside Declan Rice, while Ryan Fredericks and Angelo Ogbonna come into the defence.

Marko Arnautovic has recovered from the illness which kept him out at the weekend and is among the substitutes.

West Ham United: Adrian (c), Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Rice, Obiang, Felipe Anderson, Diangana, Antonio, Chicharito
