West Ham United Preview – Can the Hammers upset the holders?
David Moyes’ West Ham United have been in excellent form at the start of this season, picking up from where they left off last term. So far, the Hammers have won nine of their opening 13 league and cup matches, suffering just two defeats along the way.
Fresh from their derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur, the Irons will fancy their chances of toppling the Premier League champions in the cup on Wednesday. United have won three on the spin, seeing off Everton at Goodison Park and Genk at home in the UEFA Europa League before Sunday’s success over Spurs.
They are the big underdogs, but West Ham fear no team at the London Stadium, and they will no doubt play their part in this Round of 16 tie.
Manchester City Preview – Will City secure a fourth straight win?
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City won this trophy last season, beating Tottenham in the Wembley Stadium final in April. Pep has a stunning record in the EFL Cup since arriving at the Etihad Stadium, and City are the favourites to win this year’s edition.
Like West Ham, Man City have also won their last three. After drawing 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield before the international break, the Premier League champions have beaten Burnley, Club Brugge and Brighton & Hove Albion, scoring 11 and conceding two.

Phil Foden is in the form of his life at present. The young England international is having a fruitful spell in front of goal, too, netting four times in his last seven club appearances.
