The Premier League takes a backseat tonight as the Carabao Cup resumes, with Arsenal taking on West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium.

The two teams met in the Premier League last week, playing out a 0-0 draw at the London Stadium, but there must be a winner tonight with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs.

Arsenal have unsurprisingly rotated their side, with David Ospina coming in for Petr Cech in goal, whilst Mathieu Debuchy, Calum Chambers, Rob Holding and Sead Kolasinac form the back four in front of him.

Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny join Joe Willock in midfield, whilst Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck will be called upon to support striker Olivier Giroud in the final third.

It’s a youthful bench for Arsenal tonight, with Eddie Nketiah joining Matt Macey, Ben Sheaf, Josh Dasilva, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Reiss Nelson and Chuba Akpom as substitutes.

Meanwhile, West Ham have made six changes to their side after beating Stoke City 3-0 at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with Joe Hart replacing Adrian in goal.

A host of defensive players start, but it appears to be a back five of Declan Rice, Winston Reid, James Collins, Angelo Ogbonna and Aaron Cresswell in front of Hart this evening.

Teenager Domingos Quina starts alongside Pedro Obiang in midfield, with Andre Ayew and Arthur Masuaku potentially supporting Javier Hernandez in attack.

Forwards Marko Arnautovic, Diafra Sakho and Andy Carroll are all named on the bench, alongside Adrian, Pablo Zabaleta, Moses Makasi and Sead Haksabanovic.
