West Ham will be hoping to avoid an upset as they travel to League One Derby in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Hammers – who have lifted the trophy on three occasions – won an all-Premier League tie against Brentford in the third round. David Moyes' team have beaten lower-league opposition at this stage in each of the past two seasons – although they needed extra time to defeat sixth-tier Kidderminster Harriers last term.
Derby – FA Cup winners way back in 1946 – had to start in the first round this season, having been relegated to the third tier for the first time since 1986. The Rams have knocked out a side from each of the fifth, fourth and third tiers so far.
Kick-off is at 7:45pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the FA Cup wherever you are.
Team news
Derby boss Paul Warne remains without experienced defender James Chester, although fellow centre-half Eiran Cashin is set to return to the squad. This game is likely to come too soon for playmaker Louie Sibley, however.
As for West Ham, Kurt Zouma and recent signing Danny Ings have joined Gianluca Scamacca and long-term absentee Maxwel Cornet in the treatment room.
Form
Currently occupying a play-off position in League One, Derby have won their last six games on the spin and are on a 14-match unbeaten run in all competitions. In fact, the Rams' only defeat in 19 outings came on penalties away to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. They've lost just twice at home all season.
West Ham, by contrast, have lost five of their last nine games. That said, they have won two of their last three, most recently beating Everton 2-0 in a big six-pointer at the bottom of the Premier League. The Hammers have also been victorious in all five of their away cup matches this term.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch FA Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for an FA Cup tie, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the FA Cup, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
