West Ham United travel to Burton Albion for their FA Cup fourth-round tie on Saturday lunchtime.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remain mired in trouble in the Premier League and will hope to use this cup clash as a distraction and chance to continue recent momentum.

In this competition, the Hammers beat QPR 2-1 in extra time to reach this stage. Goals from Crysencio Summerville and Taty Castellanos secured a third-round win over their London rivals.
