West Ham are a much-changed side from the XI that lost to Chelsea on Monday. Striker Jonathan Calleri makes his debut, while Reece Burke and Reece Oxford both start in defence.

The Hammers are without playmaker Dimitri Payet, who has been left in London to rest.

"Yes, we've missed out on the big guns and drawn some boys called Astra Giurgiu".

Last year, you would have forgiven the West Ham players for thinking along those lines when the Romanian side were picked out of the hat to face the Hammers.

But the tie turned out to be a nightmare as Slaven Bilic's side suffered an embarrassing defeat and missed out on the Europa League group stages.

Now, it's time for revenge.
