West Ham co-Chairman David Sullivan has claimed that London rivals Arsenal are handed easier cup draws than any other team in the Premier League.
Sullivan made the claims whilst speaking of West Ham’s ambition to challenge for all three of the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup next season after a summer of heavy investment.
Speaking on TalkSport (via the Evening Standard), Sullivan said when asked about next year’s ambitions for his club: “Leicester was something we all thought could not happen, but they showed it can happen. I’d settle to win a cup…and I’d love to go to Wembley and win a cup.
“Last year [in the EFL Cup] we beat Chelsea at home then got Man United away in the next round, I mean you are not going to win anything with draws like that.”
He then went on to claim it is Arsenal who get more home draws than any other side.
“Then we get Man City in the third round of the FA Cup, Arsenal get non-league teams!
“We have been very unlucky with the draws – we get away draws – Arsenal get more home draws than any other team I’ve seen. We are due an easy, easy cup draw.”
