David Moyes can tonight build some much-needed confidence back in his West Ham side when Blackburn head to the capital for a Carabao Cup tie.
The third-round clash pits one of the Premier League’s more underperforming teams against a Rovers side pushing for promotion out of the Championship.
This competition has never been won by two-time finalists West Ham, although they have reached the quarter-finals in three of the past six seasons.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has vowed to rotate his side for the trip, which comes ahead of a huge local derby with promotion rivals Burnley this weekend.
