West Ham take on the visitors Arsenal in the 1/8-finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 1st at London Stadium (London).
West Ham shows a worthy level of football after the summer restructuring. The Hammers couldn't keep Declan Rice any longer. After winning another trophy, the Conference League, the midfielder moved to Arsenal. Apart from the captain, who had a price tag of 100 million, they also managed to sell a couple of other players profitably, especially Vlasic and Scamacca, which allowed them to finance a number of ambitious signings. It seems that after this, the Hammers look just as strong, if not stronger. They started the Europa League with victories, not only against debutants, Bachka-Topola, at home but also against the German team Freiburg. However, the English team lost to Olympiacos. They have also improved in the Premier League – if things didn't go well there a year ago, there are now more wins than losses. However, in the last Premier League round, they lost to Everton.

Arsenal are having a landmark football year – they are finally back in the Champions League. However, in the Champions League, the London club suffered their first defeat after the summer break, losing to Lance. Before that, Zinchenko and his teammates won at home against PSV and finished with a 2-1 victory in Seville against the club of the same name. They don't want to lose ground on the domestic front either, and it's noteworthy that Arteta has already beaten Guardiola twice. First in the English Super Cup, where the Red and Whites barely avoided an initial defeat and then were better in a penalty shootout. And then, in October, in the Premier League, with the only goal by Martinelli – so what if it was only in the closing minutes and with a deflection? They have been drawing with their neighbors, Fulham, Tottenham, and Chelsea. They ended all those matches 2-2, coming back with a couple of late goals against the aristocrats. They even crushed Sheffield United, improving their position in the standings.
In April, there was also a draw, and it was also 2-2, at the Hammers' ground. But before that, Arsenal won personal encounters three times in a row. Arsenal are understandably considered the favorites in this clash. It's advisable to back the visitors' victory with a 0-goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with 0.0 handicap.
