Nick Townsend set to make cup return for Newport

Newport will recall goalkeeper Nick Townsend for the Carabao Cup tie with West Ham at Rodney Parade.

Townsend has been second-choice behind Tom King this season but he was County’s penalty shoot-out hero at Gillingham in the previous round.

West Ham summer signing Albian Ajeti is set to make his debut following his £8million move from Basel.

Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini will ring the changes after his side’s first league win of the season at Watford.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
