da bet vitoria： West Ham United host Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup at the London Stadium on Tuesday night, and Irons fans have demanded that youngster Sead Haksabanovic is handed a start.
da dobrowin： David Moyes’ men would ideally love to progress in the competition, but Premier League survival may come first even though they moved out of the relegation zone with an impressive 3-0 win against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
The east London outfit welcome 18th-placed Newcastle United to the capital this weekend, and Moyes may well see that as a must-win game.
Haksabanovic only joined the Hammers during the summer, and he has made one appearance for the senior team – the 3-0 win against Bolton Wanderers in the League Cup in September – while he has been on the substitutes’ bench in the Premier League on two occasions, including against the Potters on Saturday.
West Ham supporters were quick to have their say on the 18-year-old via social media, and while one said “he is the closest player to resemble Lanzini I can think of”, another said “Haksabanovic to start tonight please”.
