West Ham v Arsenal: Declan Rice set to return to London Stadium in Carabao Cup tie

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice should be "welcomed back with open arms" when he returns to West Ham in Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie, says David Moyes.

The 24-year-old England player left the Hammers in a £105m summer transfer.

Rice made almost 250 appearances for West Ham and captained them to a Europa Conference League triumph in June.

"You've got to remember this is the man who lifted this club's first European trophy in more than 50 years," said Hammers boss Moyes.

"He should be welcomed back with open arms. We're all looking forward to seeing him again.
