West Ham United are only one place above the relegation zone in the Premier League. They have had another poor season following massive investment during the summer and host Championship leaders West Brom in the FA Cup fourth round. West Ham suffered another heavy loss on Wednesday evening when losing 4-1 away at Leicester City. The inital improvement under new boss David Moyes has dampened down a bit with a run of one point from three league games. With Liverpool up next, they face a relegation battle so ths cup tie might be a welcome relief for them. West Ham don't have a great recent cup record though with losses to lower league sides in the past couple of seasons. They beat Gillingham away in the third round and are again likely to make several changes for this game.

West Bromwich Albion are top of the Championship but not in the best of form at present. They have a point lead at the top but have only earned three points from their last six league games. Albion lost to Stoke City at home on Monday, only their third league defeat of the season. Round three saw them win at fellow Championship side Charlton Athletic and their away form is impressive. They have won six and drawn three of their last nine away league and cup ties and have scored in all but one of their 15 away games this season (second placed Leeds stopped them scoring). A bet on both teams to score is the suggested wager for this match.
