AFC Wimbledon v West Ham: fourth round of the FA Cup – live! | Soccer

Meanwhile, Everton are out of the FA Cup:

For all the hot air around Marko Arnautovic, West Ham is still in talks with Celta Vigo about Maxi Gómez, whose contract contains a release clause of 43.5 million pounds. The Spanish club however fight against the relegation of La Liga and wants to retain the player aged 22 years. Curiously, a possibility could be a transaction going on in this window before lending it until the end of the season. No matter which transaction would eclipse the club's record, with £ 36 million paid by Lazio for Felipe Anderson this summer. Gomez, who was part of the Uruguayan team at last summer's World Cup, joined Celta in 2017 for a five-year contract.

A comforting pre-match story, Courtesy of none other than Jesse Lingard. A group of AFC Wimbledon fans were present with a £ 500 shootout win against Soccer AM this morning, only for the Manchester United winger – supposed to give him a hand – misses out. a crucial shot, leaving the fans in their pocket.

This one has the scent of a real annoyance. After nearly failing at New Meadow and Riverside, AFC Wimbledon, at the bad end of Ligue 1, faces a Jeykll and Hyde West Ham United – a team that dines at the top of the table – has the qualities of a clbadic of the cup. This is the first participation of AFC Wimbledon in the fourth round of the FA Cup since its reform in 2002, although they have lost all their previous two FA Cup clashes with opponents of the Premier League (2014-15 against Liverpool and 2017-18 against Tottenham Hotspur).

"I think when you play against a Premier League team, you'll be stuck nine times out of 10," said manager Wally Downes. "So you can not go gung-ho." But I've never been involved in a football game when one of the teams did not have the opportunity to do it. The story is not a good omen for West Ham either, having been eliminated from two of his last four FA Cup matches with the League One teams, including a 2-0 at Wigan Athletic. Last season.As for the team's news, Anthony Hartigan, the talented teenager from Wimbledon, is suspended, while Adrian will start in goals for the visitors. "Marko Arnautovic should not not be involved, but it will be interesting to see if Manuel Pellegrini launches the attacker, fresh out of a remarkable U-turn after throwing his pram toys, to Kingsmeadow as a punishment.
