Hindsight is a wonderful thing, especially when it comes to setting up Football teams, Hammers vastly experienced manager Manuel Pellgrini selected what he thought was a 'competent' team in order to see off bottom of League 1 side FC Wimbledon. Indeed, pundits were congratulating 'Pelle' for taking the game seriously ahead of the match starting.

AFC Wimbledon: Ramsdale, Watson, Thomas, Oshilaja, McDonald, Nightingale, Wordsworth, Connolly, Pinnock, Appiah, Wagstaff. Subs: McDonnell, Sibbick, Garratt, Trotter, Soares, Jervis, Pigott.
West Ham United: Adrian, Antonio, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Obiang, Noble, Snodgrass, Diangana, Carroll, Chicharito. Subs: Fabianski, Fredericks, Rice, Coventry, Holland, Felipe Anderson, Perez.

Hammers manager Manuel Pellegrini has to perform a balancing act as he takes his team to the FA Cup 4th round tie against AFC Wimbledon, mindful of Tuesday evening's Premier League fixture away against Wolves which is a Europa League six pointer, he has to field a strong team tonight but without risking over using those players who have just emerged from a frenzied Christmas and New Year program.
