West Ham vs. Arsenal Betting Tips: Best bets for Carabao Cup clash including an 18/1 longshot

Six League Cup ties take place on Wednesday evening with West Ham against Arsenal being one of two games to be shown live on Sky Sports. The action commences at 19:30 GMT at The London Stadium and we’ve picked out our best bets for the Round of 16 tie, which includes an 18/1 longshot.
The Hammers managed a narrow 1-0 victory over Lincoln City in the previous round of this competition - a trophy they have never managed to get their hands on in their history. West Ham can be backed at 6/5 to advance to the quarter-finals, and 16/1 in the outright winner market to go all the way in the League Cup.
Mikel Areta’s side made the short trip to Brentford in the third round, with The Gunners earning a 1-0 victory thanks to a solitary Reiss Nelson goal. Arsenal are currently the second-shortest side in the betting to lift the trophy for the first time since 1993, while they can be sided with at 8/13 to make it through to the last-eight.
West Ham vs Arsenal Tips
West Ham are winless in their last four matches across all formats, with three losses and one draw in that period. Their latest defeat came at home to Everton in the Premier League on Sunday, with David Moyes’ side only mustering up two shots on target throughout the course of the game.
The Hammers need a solution up top with Michail Antonio failing to hold the ball up and provide goals for his side as in previous campaigns. Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta have been their bright sparks in the final-third, but with both expected to be rotated for this clash, the value looks to lie in backing an Arsenal victory at 5/4.
Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in six of their last ten across all competitions and are unbeaten in their last four. In October, they have beaten Manchester City at The Emirates, Sevilla in Andalusia and most recently Sheffield United in front of their own fans. The North London side are in good form at the moment and even with some changes to their starting XI they have enough to see off a struggling West Ham.
Eddie Nketiah scored his first ever Premier League hat-trick on Saturday in the emphatic 5-0 win over The Blades. In doing so he became the first Englishman to bag a trio of goals in the top-flight for the club since Theo Walcott in 2015, and on Wednesday we are backing him to net two or more at a generous looking 18/1.
The Arsenal forward has scored five league goals in his first 10 appearances in the top-flight this term. He is averaging 3.1 shots per 90 minutes in 2023/24 and with confidence high after the hat-trick against Sheffield United, he can find the net against a West Ham side that have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four.
