West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has claimed that Arsenal are handed home draws in cup competitions more than any other team.
Sullivan has outlined his aim for the Hammers to challenge for the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup next season after a summer of heavy spending but accepts his team will need luck on their side.
West Ham have gone beyond the quarter-finals in the FA Cup since 1990/91 and have reached the last four in the League Cup just twice in that time, and conceded nine goals in two away games to Manchester City and Manchester United last season.
Sullivan hopes to see West Ham handed more home ties moving forwards and feels Arsenal, who have won three of the past four FA Cup campaigns, have benefited more than any team from kinder draws.
“Leicester was something we all thought could not happen, but they showed it can happen," he told talkSPORT. "I’d settle to win a cup…and I’d love to go to Wembley and win a cup.
"Last year [in the EFL Cup] we beat Chelsea at home then got Man United away in the next round, I mean you are not going to win anything with draws like that.
"Then we get Man City in the third round of the FA Cup, Arsenal get non-league teams!
"We have been very unlucky with the draws - we get away draws - Arsenal get more home draws than any other team I’ve seen. We are due an easy, easy cup draw."
