West Ham will travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup on the 19th December with a 7:45pm kick-off.

The Hammers will be looking to continue their good form in the competition, and will hope for a victory that will see them reach the semi-finals of the EFL Cup for the first time since 2013/14.

Slaven Bilic’s side booked their place int he quarters with a remarkable comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week.

Having trailed 2-0 at Wembley, an Andre Ayew brace and Angelo Ogbonna winner capped off a dramatic comeback against Mauricio Pochettino’s side, and breathed new life into what has been an otherwise disappointing campaign so far in East London.

West Ham beat Cheltenham Town and Bolton Wanderers in the previous rounds before their historic victory over Spurs.

The clubs have met twice before in the League Cup, with the Hammers winning 3-1 at Highbury in October 1966, and Arsenal emerging triumphant 2-1 at the Boleyn Ground in January 1998.
