Loss EFL Cup 4th Round: West Ham United 3 - 1 Arsenal | Wednesday 1st November | KO: 19:30 GMT | Sky Sports

Prediction

West Ham 0-1 Arsenal

 

[Topside]

Think we go pretty strong Ramsdale will start, Gabriel at the back Jorginho at 6, Havertz cf with either Saka, Martinelli starting Nelson deserves another start. Ødegaard will start also.

WHU will have played Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday be interesting to see how strong they go Paqueta, Alvarez will start as have bans for the next PL game.

Yesterday few of their players looked jaded, winner reaches last 8 so be interesting how both managers approach the game.

I really hope we are not playing Martinelli or Saka. We have so much quality in attack.

My first eleven:

Ramsdale
White - Gabriel - Kiwior - Tomi
Jorginho
Vieira - ESR
Nelson - Havertz - Trossard​

Maybe a bit offensiv, so we could also play Elneny. I could imagine that we play with Jorginho and Rice in midfield.

I'm a bit unsure about that defence. I'd really rather we rest Saliba and White tbqh but one of them definitely has to play.

Tomi - White - Gabriel - Kiwior is what I'd go with.

I think I’d rather see White at fullback than Kiwior. Swap Tomiyasu to the other side.

Quite looking forward to watching the second string, there’s enough about them to create a couple of chances. Just got to hope they have enough about them to finish enough of them.

Make or break for Nelson, not sure if he starts ahead of ESR/Vieira if Kai starts in midfield.

 

[SuperMikel]

Take this competition seriously. Its winnable

 

[Legend14]

Win anything and everything this season.

I think we have enough depth now for
2-0 Arsenal.

Second objective is to get Reiss big minutes.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

I don’t care abut this one.
Use Elneny, Cedric, Vieira, Nelson, ESR, Nketiah and yougsters.

Rest Saliba, White, Tomiyasu, Rice, Ødegaard, Saka, Martinelli.
We have much tougher and more important game on Saturday.

Who cares about this cup tbh?

Arteta

No Rice in the lineups, some people are not serious.

Newcastle and Sevilla in the next eight days and you want to play Rice here?

I don’t want to see any “fml!!” post from you he gets injured

You can say that about any game he plays in!

 

[1macca1]

Can someone confirm for me that this game isn’t in about 9 hours time? ESPN is f*cking with me I think regarding my timezone.

But this is the carabao cup, the club isn’t serious about it so why would the fans be?

It’s on Wednesday night, Thursday morning for you

 

[SA Gunner]

trossard-------nketiah---------nelson
-------smith rowe---havertz
---------------jorginho
kiwior---gabriel---tomiyasu---walters
---------------ramsdale

This is the setup I'd like to see. Kiwior inverts and sits next to Joginho and a three of Gabriel, Tomiyasu and Walters gives us that security at the back.

West Ham will go strong for this game because they expect us to rotate. So I'd have some starters on the bench.

That’s why we have to mitigate the risks and not play him in meaningless cup ties

 

[GoonerJeeves]

West Ham will probably play their first eleven. They'll take competition seriously. I think we will too.

 

[Sanchez11]

But this is the carabao cup, the club isn’t serious about it so why would the fans be?

We will see how serious he wants it.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Arteta takes this competition more seriously then most of A-M.

It'll be a pretty strong side. I expect Rice .

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Look like Rice might play here according to mikel. G.Jesus still out but he pushing for return

 

[HattoriHanzo]

Honestly, Rice shouldn't play tomorrow.
