West Ham United host Arsenal at the London Stadium on Wednesday night as both teams look to advance into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
West Ham have gone through a tough run of results since returning from the recent international break with the Hammers losing all three of their games, the most recent being a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Everton.
Arsenal come into the game after an extremely convincing 5-0 victory over Sheffield United, where Eddie Nketiah scored his first English Premier League hat-trick.
West Ham United vs Arsenal
Wednesday 1 November, 20:30
London Stadium
West Ham had been having a promising start to their season prior to the recent international break, winning four of their opening eight league games and only losing to Liverpool and Manchester City. However, since returning from the break they have not been able to rediscover any type of form with them losing to Aston Villa and Everton in the league and losing for the first time in European competition after their record breaking 17 match unbeaten run.
After the recent home defeat to Everton, the West Ham fans portrayed their frustration with their side as boos echoed around the London Stadium at the full-time whistle. David Moyes will certainly be hoping his players can appease the fans in this upcoming game against Arsenal and produce the type of performance that earned them impressive victories against Chelsea and Brighton earlier this season.
Arsenal edged past Brentford in their last outing in the EFL Cup as they claimed a 1-0 victory to book their place in the fourth round. The Gunners are still yet to lose domestically with this run now being 11 games after their 5-0 demolition of Sheffield United.
Having scored nine goals in their last three games, Mikel Arteta will be hoping his side can continue performing to this standard in the attacking areas against West Ham as they look to advance into the fifth round of the cup.
