West Ham vs Arsenal prediction, odds, betting tips and best bets for Carabao Cup 4th round match

Arsenal continue their push on multiple fronts this season as they contest an all-Premier League battle in the Carabao Cup fourth round against cross-city opponents West Ham.

Over the past seven seasons, the Gunners have reached at least the quarterfinals of this competition in every year but one, falling at this stage in 2019/20 to Liverpool on the road.

That stretch includes the 2017/18 year, in which Arsenal last met West Ham in cup competition, winning 1-0 at home in the quarterfinals en route to an appearance in the final.

That, plus the notion that Mikel Arteta may rotate his squad significantly, gives West Ham a bit of an edge in this match to pick up a result.

When West Ham pick up a result against Arsenal in recent years, it usually comes via a high-scoring match, picking up 2-2, 3-3, and 3-3 draws all since 2016.

The Hammers have been porous at the back in the league this season, and while it seems they've put a stopper in their defensive sieve from earlier in the season, it will be tough to stop an Arsenal side packed with attacking talent. They'll have to find goals to keep up.

Obviously, in any cup match featuring a top Premier League team, it's wise to wait until lineups are announced to place specific player bets given Arteta is likely to rotate
