SUDDENLY with the prospect of an achievable route to the final opening up -with no disrespect to Southampton – [West Ham United](https://www.claretandhugh.info/summerville-will-have-fitness-test-west-ham-vs-leeds-united-preview-predicted-score-line-ups/) fans and Leeds fans alike will be taking this cup quarter final very seriously indeed. The delicious demise of Arsenal yesterday means the possibility of drawing non Premier League top six opposition is now very real.
Nuno Espirito Santo has to decide whether his injured trio of Crysencio Summerville, Dinos Mavropanos and Jean Clair Todibo are ready to be risked – all three are at varying stages of returning to fitness after injury – and with the final seven Premier League games starting in seven days’ time there’ll be little time for recovery should any of his team go down injured again.
The West Ham side has been announced for today’s 4.30 kick off:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Nuno has rung the changes and there’s no place for Summerville, Mavropanos or Jean Clair Todibo. (_We’re doomed..)_
Areola | Walker Peters, Disasi, Kilman, Diouf | Potts, Magassa, Fernandes,| Traore, Bowen, Castellanos
_Despite West Ham’s official sign writers having a bit of a brain fart and naming some players in the starting line up and the bench in the above graphic, we’re sure the starting XI is correct!_
