Auba's second and Pepe's goal both towards the end of the half have left them with an almost impossible task. Back for more shortly!

Start of match
PRVW
The players make their way out here!
PRVW
David 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.
PRVW
Championship 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!
PRVW
Arsenal 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.
