  Nuno makes changes in a hectic schedule
  
  West Ham United: Hermansen, Veltman, Mavropanos, Kilman, Morato, Engels, Mukasa, Bowen ©, Solomon, Taty, Piroe
  Subs: Herrick (GK), Walker-Peters, Scarles, Golambeckis, Orford, Kanté, Ajala, Austbø, Pablo.
  
  Wrexham will be lobbing lots of high balls, so Nuno has gone for Veltman and Marato, but I worry about their speed and recovery as Wrexham have speedy wide players. Ultimately, it is about imposing our game on them.

  Putting lots of responsibility on Engels and Mukasa

  I'm surprised he's not rotated Mukasa out. He's only 19, and he's never started five senior games in a row before - the last game was only the second time he's started four games in a row, and he looked quite tired (imo).

  I suppose he would probably play for 60 minutes, with Kante and Orford waiting in the wings.

  Interesting last2home games we've gone with a front 2 whereas Kante has started the last 2 away games, forming a 4231 formation instead of the 442 at home

  This game will all come down to whether Wrexham are good enough to exploit how open we’ll be.

  Also seen the new LB Adam/Boiro, didn't make the subs bench...

  It was a good save in the end

  Bowen's shot just off the keeper's arm onto the bar, unlucky.

  Mavropanos header just wide from the resulting corner.

  Huge whip on the corner from Engels.

  Next corner well overhit unfortunately.

  My comms wondering if Engels can make the step up. 🤔

  Good defensive work from Solomon there.

  Taty really shoulda slipped Engels in there, very poor decision making.
• buffybegood

  Better that time from Taty as he crossed, unfortunately it just eluded Piroe.

  That really looked like a thrown elbow.

  Must admit I thought it was more than the "accidental" incident that my comms suggested

  Piroe with a great chance but blasted over, wide or both.

  Just not controlled.

  Lovely play by Mukasa to Solomon, then Morata and a lovely glanced finish by Bowen.
