Start of match
-
PRVWThe players make their way out here!
-
PRVWDavid Webb is the referee for this one. There is no VAR or extra-time until the semi-finals. We'll go straight to penalties if it's level after 90 minutes.
-
PRVWChampionship side WBA are fielding a completely different XI from the team which started the 1-2 win at Blackburn on Saturday. Only Tulloch played on Saturday and he came off the bench in the 92nd minute!
-
PRVWArsenal are fielding quite a strong side for this one. Ramsdale replaces Leno in goal. Elsewhere, new signing Tavares, Chambers, Kolasinac, Elneny, Odegaard and Auba all start instead of Tierney, Pablo Mari, Cedric, Sambi Lokonga, Smith-Rowe and Martinelli. They are the changes from the 0-2 loss to Chelsea.
-
PRVWArsenal XI: Ramsdale (GK); Tavares, Chambers, Holding, Kolasinac; Elneny, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Pepe; Auba.
-
PRVWWest Brom XI: Palmer (GK); Shotton, Taylor, Kipre, Ingram; Reach, Fellows, Gardner-Hickman, Snodgrass; Zohore and De Castro.
