West Ham starting XI: Randolph, O'Brien, Tomkins, Burke, Page, Amalfitano, Poyet, Cullen, Jarvis, Lee, Sakho. Subs: Spiegel, S Westley, Knoyle, Oxford, Nasha, Parfitt-Williams, Brown. Mauro Zarate probably would have played but picked up an injury in the first tie at the Boleyn, it is a pity for Zarate because he seemed to impress Salven Billic with his work rate, however his loss is Lee's gain. Elliot Lee has threatened to do well, tonight he has the start he so cherishes, this is not an FA or League Cup tie where he is being thrown in at the deep end, more a rigorous work out. Having said that, the Andorrans of Lusitans are very capable of leaving the boot in, they are even more capable of falling to the floor, watch out for the sniper in the crowd! There wa one at the Boleyn wasn't there? there must have been, because their players were collapsing all over the pitch!
This could still be a tricky tie, and playing Sakho is a risk, particularly as the surface is a half plastic/grass weave, very unforgiving. Expect Hammer's main man to be taken off as soon as possible, other wise the team will probably play through as is, with a couple of late subs coming on.
Kick off is at 18:30 UK time, as yet there is not stream available, nor is one likely, although there is a chance that a Spanish 'satelite' channel might get the rights. -Ed

Not sure the incident was captured on film anywhere; I also think the ref didn't see it and went by whatever the lino said. All in all I expect a one game ban.
