Arsenal and West Ham meet for the second time in seven days, having played out a 0-0 draw at the London Stadium last week, as the two sides go head to head tonight in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Arsenal, as expected in the previous fixture, dominated possession but were unable to break down a stubborn West Ham team that restricted Arsenal to a mere three shots on target. David Moyes will want a similarly committed display against an Arsenal side that Arsene Wenger will be sure to rotate ahead of a tough fixture against Liverpool at the Emirates on Friday.

GOAL ALERT! Leicester 0-1 Manchester City (Vardy, pen, 90+7)

Late drama at the King Power Stadium as Jamie Vardy levels proceedings from the spot after Kyle Walker was adjudged to have fouled Demarai Gray in the box!

Extra-time, here we come!

Full-time - Arsenal 1-0 West Ham

The final whistle goes and Arsenal are into the last four courtesy of Danny Welbeck's first-half goal.

The final whistle has also gone at the King Power Stadium, where we're going to extra-time after a 1-1 draw.

91' - Extra-time is underway between Leicester and Manchester City.

91' - Gabriel Jesus gets on the end of Kyle Walker's cross but his tame header is straight at Ben Hamer and the Leicester stopper makes an easy save.

95' - Kyle Walker goes down in the box after a challenge by Harry Maguire but the referee sees through the City full-back's dive and books him for simulation.

103' - Claudio Bravo, what are you doing?!

The City goalkeeper reckons it's wise to take a touch under pressure from Jamie Vardy and almost pays the price as his attempted clearance hits the Leicester striker and goes narrowly wide for a goal-kick.

It's half-time in extra-time and Pep Guardiola is down on the pitch giving an extremely animated team talk to his players.

How very Pep Guardiola.

106' - We're back underway.

Will we see a decisive goal in the remaining 15 minutes or will we need penalties to decide the winner? Every single neutral and non-gambler on the planet is obviously hoping for the latter.
