West Ham predicted XI vs Lincoln City: Tomas Soucek dropped already in three changes

West Ham United are looking to get back to winning ways in the Championship against Lincoln.

The Irons are back into the action on Wednesday as they travel to the ProAmpac Stadium.

It's been over a month since their last victory with draws either side of the international break with Millwall and QPR.

Friday saw West Ham stumble again, as Jarrod Bowen missed a late penalty in a 1-1 draw with QPR.

Tomas Soucek returned to action after months out with injury, and was at the heart of controversy.

Nuno Espirito Santo was visably unhappy with his side, and could ring the changes already.

West Ham need to mix it up

Mads Hermansen should continue in goal, with his only concession from the spot on Friday evening.

Morato was booked at left-back, and was tormented at times, but so was Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Both will likely continue with Max Kilman, but Kyle Walker-Peters won't be as lucky.

The right-back has been taken off at half-time in consecutive games now, and could start on the bench from the start in this one.

It means Joel Veltman could start, after returning to the bench last time.

Soucek was thrown straight back into the starting side by Nuno, but another game days later may come too soon.

The Czechia star is a favourite at London Stadium, but could drop to the bench and make an impact later on.

Divine Mukasa should then drop deeper to start alongside Arne Engels at the base of midfield for Nuno.

Attacking changes needed for West Ham

After playing one striker against QPR, it simply didn't work.

Joel Piroe could come back in to replace Soucek, but play further forward as a second striker.

It takes less responsibility off the shoulders of Bowen on the right, and Taty Castellanos, who will likely start up top again.

Manor Solomon struggled after a controversial international break, and a rest, at least from the start could do him good here.

It opens the door for Edvin Austbo to start after coming off the bench on Friday, as he looks to build on that goal against Derby.

With three changes and a desperate need for three points, Nuno has no excuse to get West Ham back on track in the Championship.
