After surviving a scare against Kidderminster Harriers in the last round, West Ham United head south on Wednesday evening to take on Southampton in the latest set of FA Cup fixtures on TV.
Declan Rice’s 91st-minute equaliser took that game to extra time while Jarrod Bowen broke the non-league side’s hearts with his 121st-minute winner.
Ultimately, however, the Hammers will need to be much improved this time around if they’re to qualify for the sixth round of the competition.
The Saints also required extra time to come through their fifth round tie with Championship side Coventry City but have been in impressive form over the past few months.
With their Premier League future all but secure, Ralph Hasenhuttl can afford to focus his full attention on an FA Cup run.

Our prediction: Southampton v West Ham
With games coming in thick and fast in recent weeks, West Ham’s top four aspirations may mean that David Moyes switches things up for the trip to St Mary’s.
That will play into Southampton’s hands as we can expect to see a full-strength side named by Hasenhuttl.
The Hammers got away with making changes against Kidderminster but this time it could prove costly.
Our prediction: Southampton 2-0 West Ham (14/1 at bet365).
