West Ham United suffered a disappointing defeat in their last match against Bournemouth in the Premier League. However, they would look to revive their winning form when they take on AFC Wimbledon in their next game in the FA Cup fourth round.
Despite their poor performances in the League One competition this season, Wimbledon have made it to the fourth round of the prestigious FA Cup. It would definitely not be an easy outing for the bottom-placed team in League One to take on the might of the east London club when the two teams face each other at Kingsmeadow this weekend.
Team News
West Ham United have been ravaged by injuries throughout this season, and they should not risk their key players in the match against Wimbledon. Manuel Pellegrini is expected to opt for a comparatively weaker side to face the League One club with the business end of the season still to come.
Goalkeeper
Lukasz Fabianski has been in good form this season and would look to keep a clean sheet as he starts in the goal against Wimbledon.
Defence
Reece Oxford would pair up with Angelo Ogbonna in the heart of the defence for the Hammers as Issa Diop is set to be rested. Pablo Zabaleta would put in a shift from the right side of the defence while Arthur Masuaku would start in the left-back role in the next match.
Midfield
Pedro Obiang and Mark Noble would start in midfield for West Ham United. Michail Antonio would begin at the right-hand side of the midfield as Robert Snodgrass would be rested. Young winger Xande Silva could be given a start on the left.
Attack
Marko Arnautovic is set to be rested for the match against Wimbledon. Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez and Lucas Perez would lead the line for the Hammers while Andy Carroll starts from the bench.
Predicted Formation: 4-4-2
