Laster today, West Ham United will lineup against Oxford United in the Carabao Cup at the Kassam Stadium. It’s not a huge game for the Hammers and the Premier League takes priority, and as a result of that, the Hammers want to see Nathan Holland come in as part of the rotation.

The young midfield man would likely relish the chance to feature against the lower league opposition, and it certainly looks like a great opportunity for Manuel Pellegrini to see what some of the club’s younger talent can do when given the chance.
It would also give someone like Mark Noble, Declan Rice or Pablo Fornals a week off and a chance to be as fresh as possible for their trip to Dean Court to take on Bournemouth on the weekend, so you can understand the fans calls for Holland to start.
You can see those calls here:
Fornels needs games. Holland and laing would be great. Hopefully snod is up for it. Great when his chasing and closing everything down

The Hammers all seem keen to let Holland have a runout, and now it’s up to Manuel Pellegrini to make it happen.
