Gillingham v West Ham United Under 21’s
Papa John's Trophy
MEMS Priestfield Stadium
Tuesday October 26
Kick-Off, 7pm
Team News:
Steve Evans is set to make several changes following the 2-2 draw against Bolton on Saturday. Bailey Akehurst, Aaron Chapman, Gerald Sithole, Harvey Lintott, Ben Reeves, Olly Lee and Charlie Kelman could all start.
A win for Gills would put them through to the next round of the competition. However a defeat would mean the club are unable to qualify.
Pierre-Emmanuel Ekwah Elimby could return from suspension after his sending off against Ipswich. Krisztián Hegyi, Harrison Ashby, Jamal Baptiste and Keenan Appiah-Forson may all start.
Manager Comments:
Steve Evans - “Tuesday will be of no interest to me other than watching what players demonstrate, by performance, they should be starting on a regular basis.
“Telling me in my office they deserve to start matches cuts no ice, they get in by performing on the grass.”
