Southampton v West Ham live stream, Wednesday 2 March, 7.30pm GMT
Two in-form Premier League sides clash for a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday when Southampton welcome West Ham to St. Mary’s.
Both teams earned league wins ahead of their cup meeting, Saints beating Norwich 2-0 and West Ham edging Wolves 1-0.
Ralph Hassenhutl’s side have avoided defeat in their last six games in all competitions, while the Hammers travel south on a five-game unbeaten run.
West Ham are involved in a fierce battle for Champions League qualification and currently sit two points outside the top four, while Southampton are 10 points behind them in ninth.
With both sides enjoying strong league campaigns, a cup run may well be on their minds.
Saints haven’t won the FA Cup since 1976, while West Ham’s last victory came four years later in 1980.
They’re both long overdue a run to the final, too, with their last appearances in the showcase game coming in 2003 and 2006 respectively.
There hasn’t been much between these sides in their Premier League meetings this season.
They played out a 0-0 draw at St. Mary’s in September, before Saints grabbed a 3-2 win in London on Boxing Day.
Kick-off is at 7.30pm GMT on Wednesday 2 March, and it is on BBC Red Button and iPlayer. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
