West Ham United will take part in the Carabao Cup Round 3 draw tonight after defeating Southampton 4-1 in their biggest Carabao Cup away victory since 1967.

Taking part in Round 3 means the Hammers are amongst the remaining 32 teams in the tournament, with the European Teams from the Premier League now also being entered.

The draw for Round 3 will take place after the Preston vs Everton match is concluded. However, a pre-draw for the European sides entering the competition has already been completed, which determines where their tie will be played.

West Ham United signed El-Hadji Malick Diouf last summer for £19m plus add-ons, which weren’t achieved throughout that season. Malick Diouf was bought by Graham Potter as he was deemed to be a perfect fit for a ‘Potter System’.

Diouf was a player who struggled to find consistent form and ultimately weaved in and out of having good performances. Despite going away for the World Cup and coming back to the squad during pre-season and showing that he wanted to play for the club, it seems that his head has turned and he has ultimately decided that he wants to move on from West Ham.

After seeing the lineups come out, most thought that we were about to witness a reincarnation of Nottingham Forest’s 5-0 thrashing over West Ham back in 2014, however, the night didn’t go that way and it was in fact West Ham who walked away with not just a victory, but their biggest away League Cup victory since 1967!
