EFL Cup Spotlight: West Ham’s Challenge Against Spirited Lincoln
Key Stats
– Lincoln, once on a six-game unbeaten run, are now seeking redemption after two back-to-back defeats.
– James Ward-Prowse, with a 7.62 rating, might just be the man to watch out for in the upcoming clash.
West Ham United, having faced a demanding early season, prepare to go up against Lincoln City for the EFL Cup’s third round on a crucial Wednesday night. As the Hammers hover in the respectable seventh position in the Premier League, Lincoln find themselves somewhere in the middle of the League One standings.
David Moyes, the orchestrator of West Ham’s gameplay, might express a decent satisfaction level, considering the Hammers have managed 10 points from their initial six Premier League matches. The losses have only come from top-tier teams, namely Manchester City and Liverpool, both with 3-1 margins. On the brighter side, their Europa League journey began on a victorious note.

However, there’s an alarming aspect. West Ham have let their guard down, failing to secure a clean sheet in their last seven appearances across all platforms. This vulnerability, if not addressed, might limit their progress. Moyes, well aware of this, wouldn’t want an upset in the EFL Cup showdown.
Lincoln’s recent track record showcased a promising six-match unbeaten run and a laudable victory over a Premier League competitor in this very contest. Their manager, Mark Kennedy, witnessed his team’s strong defensive play, drawing against Sheffield United and later winning in a penalty decider. Yet, following this high, Lincoln’s winning streak tapered off with two recent defeats against Derby County and Portsmouth.
The Players and Expected Lineups
Both managers would likely implement changes to their lineups. Moyes is expected to revamp his team, especially after the recent Liverpool defeat. Notable mentions include Tomas Soucek in the midfield, while fresh recruits Konstantinos Mavropanos and Mohammed Kudus might get the nod. In Lincoln’s camp, Alistair Smith might find himself in the midfield, replacing either Ethan Erhahon or Ethan Hamilton.
Lincoln City Probable XI: Jensen; Jackson, O’Connor, Mitchell; Sorensen, Smith, Erhahon, Burroghs; Hackett-Fairchild, Adelakun, Bishop
West Ham United Probable XI: Fabianski; Kehrer, Mavropanos, Ogbonna, Johnson; Soucek, Fornals; Benrahma, Kudus, Cornet; Ings
