After a good performance and deserved draw at the London Stadium, Bristol City will be hoping to secure a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup as they host West Ham.

Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham a fourth-minute lead in the initial fixture, but Tommy Conway’s strike secured Bristol City a replay.

The Championship club have since suffered a 2-0 defeat in the league to Preston, while West Ham enjoyed a weekend off to rest and recharge.
