West Ham midfielder walking suspension tightrope ahead of Man United FA Cup fixture

Tomas Soucek could be banned for the FA Cup quarter-final should West Ham United overcome Manchester United.

The Hammers travel to Old Trafford to face a United team fresh off winning the Carabao Cup against high-flying Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.

The two teams face off on Wednesday night with a place in the quarter-finals on the line, the east London outfit last reaching this stage of the competition in 2016 where they were beaten by United after a replay.

And should David Moyes' side reach that stage once again, they will be hoping Soucek avoids a booking or else he will be suspended for the tie.

The midfielder was cautioned in the last round of the cup against Derby County and per the competition's rules, any player who picks up two bookings is suspended for a game.

Craig Dawson was another West Ham player potentially facing suspension but the defender was sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the January transfer window.
