Aston Villa should take the first step of rectifying a poor recent FA Cup record by getting past West Ham in Friday’s live ITV showdown.
The Midlands outfit were knocked out in a fourth-round replay against Chelsea last year, but that performance came after seven successive falls in their first game in the competition.
However, Unai Emery’s team have looked a sharp outfit this season and have a realistic chance of going all the way in the competition this season.
They fell to Crystal Palace at home in the League Cup, but they ahve taken 13 points from their last five home games and have not conceded in Champions League games on their own patch against Bayern Munich, Bologna and Juventus.
