Graham Potter could make three changes to his West Ham side to face Wolves on Tuesday with Mohammed Kudus potentially set to miss out.
The Hammers are preparing for a return to Premier League action on 1 April at Molineux, 17 days after their draw away to Everton.
A 1-1 draw away at Goodison Park was a blow as Jake O’Brien scored a 91st-minute equaliser to cancel out Tomas Soucek’s earlier strike.
Looking ahead to a clash against the Black Country outfit, Potter will be hopeful of getting back to winning ways for the first time since 27 February.

Kudus axed for West Ham v Wolves
The goalkeeper position at the London Stadium has been chopped and changed throughout the season but Alphonse Areola finally appears to have made it his own again. The Frenchman could be set for yet another start in the West Midlands.

Ahead of him, Potter could utilise two changes to his favoured back five formation with Ollie Scarles and Aaron Cresswell potentially set to come back in.
This could see Max Kilman, Jean-Clair Todibo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka start again while Konstantinos Mavropanos and Emerson could be benched.
The midfield trio could be set to remain the same, with Lucas Paqueta potentially ready to line up ahead of Tomas Soucek and James Ward-Prowse once again.
This could see a third Potter change come in the forward line as Evan Ferguson could come in to replace the faltering Kudus.
Alongside the Republic of Ireland loanee, Jarrod Bowen is bound to keep his place and will be hopeful of scoring his first goal in three games.

There’s little to play for across the rest of the campaign for the Irons, but that doesn’t mean Potter can lower his standards in the coming weeks.

The English head coach needs to see his side finish the season in excellent fashion, ready to hit the ground running in his first full year in charge.
That will see him rely on the likes of Bowen and Paqueta in forward areas to make things happen and cause problems for Wolves.
Whether Kudus can have an impact and put this poor run of form to an end it is yet to be seen, but he needs to or risk being sold in the summer.
