Blackburn Rovers midfielder Sammie Szmodics will get to live the dream of playing against his boyhood club West Ham United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
The Hammers play host to Championship side Blackburn in the third round at the London Stadium, a ground very familiar for the ex-Peterborough United playmaker.
Szmodics was a season-ticket holder last season at West Ham’s home stadium, with many of their games being on Thursdays and Sundays, not clashing with the Posh’s matches in the Championship.
