Top games to watch in round four of the Carabao Cup

Chelsea vs Southampton: The Premier League leaders will be in for a rough ride come this round as Tuchel's men are set to battle it out with Southampton for a spot in the quarterfinals. Fortunately for the home side, form favors the London giants as the Blues enter this clash on the back of a 7-0 thrashing of Norwich City, with Mason Mount scoring a hat-trick in that tie. The Saints, on the other hand, were held to a 2-2 draw by Burnley over the weekend and thus sit in 16th spot in the table. However, as Man City came to know, Hassenhuttl's side can frustrate any opposition when at their best, meaning Tuchel cannot afford to lower his guard.

Arsenal vs Leeds: After disappointing back-to-back draws, including a fortunate 2-2 stalemate at home to Crystal Palace in which Lacazette scored at the death to secure a point, Arsenal finally returned to winning ways. A convincing performance against Aston Villa saw the Gunners beat Dean Smiths' side 3-1. All eyes will be on this fixture as fans wonder whether Mikel Arteta will name a strong squad given the lack of European football, or whether the Spaniard will offer a few promising youngsters their debuts. As for Leeds, they will be hoping to turn things around in this tie. Bielsa's men are winless in their last two outings and have triumphed only once inside 90 minutes in their last eight matches.

West Ham vs Man City: Will West Ham knock out Manchester's two heavyweights in back-to-back Carabao Cup rounds? The Hammers knocked out Man United in the previous stage and will now set their eyes on eliminating the defending Premier League champions. Given that they recently beat Tottenham 1-0, Moyes' men will enter this clash with tons of confidence. Unfortunately, their opponents are Man City, one of Europe's best teams, and given that they've won all but one of their last four league outings, it's fair to say the Cityzens are on a high as well.
