West Ham United boss, Manuel Pellegrini, knows only too well the importance that winning a trophy means for his club and it's long suffering supporters has, the EFL Carabao Cup represents a clear route in to Europe for the next season, a route he is determined to take, by hook or by crook. Pelle has hinted at changes from the side that swept away Manchester United at the London Stadium on Sunday, however he will be extremely wary of 'doing a 'Poch' by fielding a team that is too under strength.

West Ham have banned a supporter for life after a racist video was posted on social media, the club moved quickly to ban the supporter in question with a spokesperson saying the club was made aware of "disgusting" footage of a fan making racist remarks to away fans at London Stadium early last season. "The club handed evidence to the police and banned an individual for life from our stadium. No place for it at our club," said the Hammers on Twitter, we have a "zero tolerance of abhorrent behaviour."

In an interview with Brazil's top newspaper, O Globo, given just after West Ham United's 2-0 win over Manchester United, Felipe Anderson confided that when he first arrived at the London Stadium he was quite shocked at the lack of protection afforded players by the Referee and their assistants, of course he already knew the pace of the Barclays Premier League would be frenzied, but he admits he was initially 'overcome' by it's sheer physicality.
