Mikel Arteta Discusses Declan Rice' Return | West Ham vs Arsenal
Welcome to football.london's live coverage of West Ham United vs Arsenal as the Gunners look to reach another cup quarter-final under Mikel Arteta. The Hammers meanwhile are reeling from their Premier League defeat at home to Everton whilst Arsenal secured a big 5-0 win over Sheffield United.
Mikel Arteta made several changes ahead of the game, six in fact, with Fabio Vieira, Aaron Ramsdale, Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard, Jorginho and Gabriel Magalhaes all coming in. However there was some bad news.
Emile Smith Rowe missed out on the squad entirely with a knee issue. Declan Rice is on the bench and could feature against his former side, as is Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
Ben White gave the Gunners the worst possible start as he headed into his own net.
Tom Canton is at the London Stadium to bring all the build-up, match coverage and reaction. Updates to follow.

21:28Kaya Kaynak
Aaron Ramsdale needed a big performance tonight but failed to really convince when playing out from the back. Poor from Zinchenko, Gabriel and too many others to name. Kiwior and Nelson were rare bright sparks.
