Manchester United vs West Ham live: Latest score after Anthony Martial goal plus Arsenal vs Southampton
All the action from the final two EFL Cup quarter finals
Manchester United will face West Ham United at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup quarter final - the second meeting in four days after the 1-1 draw in the Premier League on Sunday.
United, who have won the competition on four occasions, most recently in 2010, will be without manager Jose Mourinho, who has won it three times himself, for the game after he was sent to the stands for angrily kicking a water bottle when Paul Pogba was judged to have dived towards the end of the first half.
- Jose Mourinho to watch the game from the stands as part of a one-game ban
- Bastian Schweinsteiger expected to make his first appearance of the season for United
- Four of the last six meetings between the sides have ended in draws

Wednesday night’s EFL Cup quarter-final fixtures:
Arsenal vs Southampton (7.45pm)
Manchester United vs West Ham United (8pm)
Tuesday night’s EFL Cup quarter-final results:
Liverpool 2-0 Leeds United
Hull City 1-1 Newcastle United (Hull won 3-1 on penalties)
Bit of a kick in the teeth for Uefa team of the year nominee Aaron Ramsey. Not only is he actually starting tonight amongst all of Arsenal's novices, he's not even given the captain's armband. That honour goes to left-back Kieran Gibbs.
Bilic has made five changes to the side that drew 1-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Reid replacing Noble as captain. Ashley Fletcher, who was ahead of Marcus Rashford in the pecking order at United only 12 months ago, also starts for the Hammers.
Only 15 minutes to go until our first match of the night kicks off - Arsenal vs Southampton. They met earlier in the season with the Gunners running out 2-1 winners thanks to a late, and slightly controversial, 90th-minute penalty. Will we see more drama tonight? Or more penalties?
Looks like neither side have particularly good form at this stage...
Arsenal vs Southampton:
The teams are out on the pitch at the Emirates with Kieran Gibbs leading them out for the first time.
Both sets of players gather in the centre circle for a minute silence for those who died in the Colombian plane tragedy yesterday. Brazilian Gabriel holds up a #ForzaChape sign.
And we're five minutes away from kick off at Old Trafford. How do we see this going? Can Mkhitaryan continue his revival?
