The reserve team face Leicester City at Victoria Road on Tuesday
night with under-17 coach Kevin Keen playing his second game since
his return to the club, while David Noble makes his debut in a West
Ham shirt.
Says Kevin: "With the FA Youth Cup game against Norwich City on Wednesday we are a little bit short tonight so I will just go and have a run about," he says.
"I enjoyed my last game but it is a little bit cold tonight so I will have to put my thermal vest on."
David makes his first start in a Hammers shirt since signing from Arsenal, while senior players Don Hutchison, called up into Scotland's latest squad, and Gary Breen, get some match action.
Team: Van der Gouw, Byrne, Blewitt, Hutchison, Breen, Iriekpen, Akinsete, Noble, Garcia, Sofiane, Keen. Subs: Fletcher, Jackson, McClenahan, Parrington, Wright.
