he Hammers will be hoping for a home draw as they go into the hat for the fourth round of the FA Cup this afternoon (Sun).

After beating Brentford 1-0 yesterday evening with a fine goal from Said Benrahma any team at home would be a bonus for a squad which is looking to progress into the fifth round.

The draw  will be made ahead of the third round tie between Manchester City and Chelsea and will be broadcast live in the UK on BBC One at around 4.05pm GMT.
