League Cup quarter-final
7.45pm Tuesday

Arsenal and West Ham played out a goalless league draw at the London Stadium a week ago but the change of venue can see the Gunners book their place in the last four of the League Cup.

Southampton upset Arsene Wenger’s men at this stage at the Emirates 12 months ago but the Hammers’ main focus is to stay in the Premier League and a crunch clash with Newcastle on Saturday may be higher up their pecking order.

Arsenal have won four of their last five home games to nil and Wenger may eye this competition as a perfect chance to get his hands on some silverware.

Recommendation
Arsenal to win to nil
