Gunners set to continue cup run

West Ham fell to their third successive defeat at home to Everton on Sunday and could be in line for a fourth loss against London rivals Arsenal.

The Hammers’ season started well but has taken a turn for the worse over the past month, while Arsenal come into this game flying after a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United on Saturday.

The visitors have won three and drawn one of their last four games and can draw confidence from their fantastic recent record against West Ham. The Gunners are unbeaten in eight meetings with their opponents, winning five of them and scoring at least two goals in seven.

The continued involvement of both teams in Europe means some key players are likely to be rested on both sides for this one, but Arsenal’s greater squad depth and their record against David Moyes’ men should carry them to victory at the London Stadium.

Expect goals at the London Stadium

West Ham’s 1-0 defeat to Everton was the first time they have failed to find the net this season but they should be able to get on the scoresheet against Arsenal.

The Hammers have scored against the likes of Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea already this term and Arsenal aren’t at their best defensively.

The visitors have conceded in each of their last three away games and, despite their excellent record against West Ham, they have conceded in nine of their last 11 head-to-head encounters.

Nketiah can punish leaky Hammers defence

Eddie Nketiah put Sheffield United to the sword on Saturday as he bagged a hat-trick in Arsenal’s 5-0 demolition of the Blades and he could find the net again at the London Stadium.

Nketiah led the line for Arsenal in the last round against Brentford and capped his performance off with an assist. With Gabriel Jesus a doubt, the 24-year-old could be called upon again and looks a fine price to get on the scoresheet after netting five times in eight Premier League starts this season.
