With a busy schedule ahead of the Hammers this season it seems as though Slaven Bilic may give some of the youngsters a chance maybe in cup games or even in some league matches.
West Ham are well known for the Academy of Football, however, this year our youth players seem even stronger than ever. Many youth players featured in the second half of the Juventus game the other day and it gave them a real chance to show what they can offer to the club.
The youngsters also now have the EFL trophy which is where they get to face League One and League Two first-teamers in a tournament where the final is played at Wembley.
The few Premier League teams in it have to field nearly a full youth squad with only two exceptions per game. This will be a great way for the youngsters to get some real first team football.
Here we look at five youth players that could impress this season.
