West Ham vs Arsenal live score, updates, lineups, and result as Premier League sides meet in Carabao Cup tie
A meeting between two Premier League sides in contrasting form takes place in the Carabao Cup Round of 16 on Wednesday when West Ham United host Arsenal.
The Hammers are winless in four games in all competitions and have lost their past three, including that surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
Their visitors collected an emphatic second successive victory by beating Sheffield United 5-0 at Emirates Stadium a day earlier, extending their unbeaten run to four matches. Eddie Nketiah scored a hat-trick in that game and will be in confident mood if he plays, especially since he also assisted the winner in the Gunners' victory at Brentford in the previous round.
Arsenal are undefeated in their previous eight against West Ham, although their two draws along the way both came at London Stadium, including a top-flight match in April that finished 2-2. Their latest encounter will go straight to penalties, should it finish all square.
