West Ham are hoping to avoid an upset when they travel to the League One derby in the FA Cup fourth round.
The Hammers – who have won the trophy three times – won a Premier League tie against Brentford in the third round. David Moyes’ side have beaten lower-tier opponents in each of the last two seasons at this stage – although last season they needed extra time to beat sixth-tier side Kidderminster Harriers.
Derby – FA Cup winners way back in 1946 – have had to start in the first round this season after being relegated to the third division for the first time since 1986. The Rams have each beat a team from places five, four and three stages so far.
Kick-off is at 19:45 GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the FA Cup (opens in new tab) wherever you are.

VPN guide
If you’re abroad for an FA Cup tie, you won’t be able to watch on your home streaming service as usual. The sender knows where you are based on your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from viewing it. However, you can use a VPN to bypass this without resorting to illegal feeds found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), provided it complies with your broadcaster’s terms and conditions, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t figure out where you are and lets you watch. And all information that goes in between is fully encrypted, anonymous and secure – and that’s a result.
There are many inexpensive options out there. For the FA Cup FourFourTwo currently recommends:
