LIKELY LINE-UP:
ONE TO WATCH: Dan Kemp
HAVING played just one Premier League 2 match this season - a goalless draw at home to Everton last Friday night - West Ham have not had much chance to build up a run of form heading to the County Ground this evening.
However, the Hammers did play six times during pre-season and no one made more of an impression than Dan Kemp, who scored from midfield in half of those matches.
Kemp, 18, joined West Ham in 2015 having originally signed for Chelsea as a six-year-old.
According to the Hammers’ official website, he has made 36 appearances for the club’s youth sides, scoring five goals in the process and helped the U23 team win promotion last season.
He was included in the England U20 squad for the prestigious Toulon Tournament this summer.
KEY BATTLE
Ellis Iandolo v Moses Makasi
YOUNGSTER Ellis Iandolo is likely to be given his chance to impress for Swindon Town against West Ham this evening having been restricted to cameos off the bench so far this season.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder is highly thought of by Town boss David Flitcroft and will no doubt be keen to make an impression.
If he is to do that, he will need to get the better of Moses Makasi, who will sit deep in the Hammers midfield and attempt to stifle any creative threat posed by Swindon.
