West Ham are yet to add an EFL Cup trophy to their cabinet, only getting as far as the final in 1981. David Moyes’ side got eliminated in the third round of the competition last season following a penalty shootout defeat to Championship side Blackburn Rovers. Nevertheless, the Irons made hard work of their third round contest with third tier side Lincoln City this time around, only prevailing through Thomas Soucek’s winner 20 minutes from time. But the Hammers are heading into the match on the back of three successive defeats across all competitions. Moyes’ side returned to action following the international break with a 4-1 league-defeat to Aston Villa on October 22, before losing 2-1 to Olympiacos in the Europa League three days later. On Sunday, West Ham suffered their fourth top flight defeat of the season against Everton through Dominic Calvin-Lewin’s lone goal early in the second-half.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in sublime form, having put five goals past Sheffield United without reply at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Eddie Nketiah netted a hat-trick, while Fabio Viera and Rakehiro Tomiyasu scored one goal each for Mikel Arteta’s men against the Blades. It was their seventh win from ten league games and the North Londoners are currently sitting at the second spot in the English top flight standings, trailing the leaders Tottenham Hotspur by just two points. Meanwhile, Arteta’s men required just a solitary goal to secure passage into round of 16 of the EFL Cup, as an early Reiss Nelson winner ended Bretford’s journey in September.
West Ham United probable starting lineup: Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Mavropanos, Emerson, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Cornet, Fornals, Benrahma, Ings
Arsenal probable starting lineup: Ramsdale, White, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Kiwior, Vieira, Jorginho, Havertz, Nelson, Nketiah, Trossard
