West Ham United Preview – Comfortable cup victory for the Hammers?
David Moyes’ West Ham United have had a tough start to their season, losing both of their opening two Premier League matches. On the opening weekend, the Hammers were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United at the London Stadium.
The Irons were far more competitive on matchday two, almost leaving the Emirates Stadium with a point. Michail Antonio levelled for United just before half time, but Eddie Nketiah’s strike five minutes from the end gave the Gunners a 2-1 home win.
It has not been all doom and gloom for the Hammers supporters this season, though, as their team eased past fellow London side Charlton Athletic in the second round of the EFL Cup last week. West Ham were too good for the League One outfit, with goals from Sebastian Haller (2) and Felipe Anderson giving them a 3-0 victory at the London Stadium. Can the Londoners beat League One opposition in the League Cup once again this Tuesday?
Hull City Preview – Tough test at the London Stadium for the Tigers
Hull City, who were relegated from the EFL Championship last season, have beaten Sunderland and Leeds United to book their spot in the third round of the 2020-21 Carabao Cup. In the opening round, the Tigers won on penalties at the Stadium of Light.
Against the odds, Hull then beat Premier League Leeds at Elland Road in the second round of the EFL Cup. The pair drew 1-1 in normal time, with Grant McCann’s troops going on to win 9-8 on penalties.

Promotion back to the Championship will be Hull’s main aim this term. The Tigers have made an excellent start to life in League One, picking up six points from a possible six thus far. City beat Gillingham 2-0 on the road on the opening weekend and Crewe Alexandra 1-0 at the KCOM Stadium last Saturday.
After shocking Leeds at Elland Road in round two, can McCann’s men upset Premier League opposition again at the London Stadium on Tuesday? The Tigers are priced at 7/1 to do so.
