West Ham vs Arsenal: Declan Rice faces former club in Carabao Cup London derby – kick-off time, team news and how to follow
Arsenal can inflict more misery on West Ham when the London rivals meet in the Carabao Cup fourth round this week.
The two teams have had contrasting returns since the international break, with the Gunners unbeaten while the Irons have lost all three.
West Ham fans voiced their displeasure at David Moyes' side following the 1-0 home defeat to Everton last time out.
The Hammers must now find a way to quickly bounce back with Arsenal buoyed by a dominant 5-0 win over Sheffield United.
The Gunners will have already felt confident coming into this one due to their superior record in this London derby.
In all competitions, Arsenal have lost just two of their last 32 matches against West Ham, winning a whopping 24 contests.
However, they most recently squandered a two goal lead in the club's 2-2 draw in April that ultimately led to the end of their title challenge.
West Ham also have experience of giant-killing in this competition, famously ending Manchester City's chances of a fifth successive Carabao Cup at the London Stadium in October 2021.
The Hammers have beaten their capital rivals just twice since 2007 and come into this one off the back of three successive defeats.
The Gunners are unbeaten in the last eight matches between the two sides and haven't lost a domestic fixture so far this season.
