The League Cup remains the only competition Arsene Wenger is yet to win in English football, but with the Gunners already incredibly far away from the Premier League’s pace-setters Manchester City, it may be the trophy the Frenchman needs to continue justifying his status as Arsenal manager – if he can couple it with Europa League or FA Cup silverware.
The Gunners face a tough test tonight, however, in the form of quarter-final opponents West Ham. Enjoying a revival under David Moyes, the Irons have kept three consecutive clean sheets, including one against Arsenal, and tasted victory twice in their last three games.
But the League Cup remains Wenger’s preferred competition to give youngsters chances to impress at first team level and one of those who has benefited most this season is prodigious midfielder Reiss Nelson – who has made eight appearances in the League Cup and the Europa League so far this term.
So, Arsenal fans, would you give the 18-year-old another runout tonight against the Irons? Let us know by voting below…
