West Ham travel to St Mary's for the chance to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in six seasons when they face Southampton.

The Irons are 11/5 with Betfred while Southampton are the slight favourites at 13/10 and a draw is 5/2.

The Saints have been impressive at home lately, picking up four wins in their last five matches and are currently on a six-match unbeaten run in all competitions too.

St Mary's has become somewhat of a fortress of late with the hosts unbeaten in their last 11 matches at their home ground including a 1-1 draw against league leaders Manchester City.

The Hammers will be looking to improve on their FA Cup form after they needed extra-time to see off National League North side Kidderminster Harriers in the last round.

I sound like a broken record at this rate but you have got to keep an eye on Jarrod Bowen for this match.

The winger has been in fine form all season and should expect a call-up to the England squad from Gareth Southgate and if not then there will be a lot of people scratching their heads.

This will be the 114th meeting between the two sides with West Ham picking up 46 wins, 32 draws and 35 losses in that time.

The Irons are undefeated against their hosts in the FA Cup picking up three wins and three draws.
