AFC Wimbledon will be looking to cause an upset on home turf in their second domestic cup meeting of the season against West Ham United, having lost 3-1 to the Hammers in the Carabao Cup second round in August.

Aside from their 3-2 victory in the third round against Fleetwood, Wally Downes’ men haven’t won since Boxing Day and are rooted to the bottom of League One.

West Ham eased past Birmingham City in round three, but after an impressive win against Arsenal, they were brought back down to earth with a 2-0 loss at Bournemouth last weekend.
