Kidderminster vs West Ham prediction and odds: Irons will have enough to avoid FA Cup upset

West Ham United will be looking to avoid putting themselves in the history with one of the biggest FA Cup upsets when they travel to face Kidderminster Harriers this weekend.

The Irons are the favourites with Grosvenor Sport at 2/11 while Kidderminster are 14/1 and a draw is 23/4.

David Moyes' side are 113 places above their Worcestershire hosts with the National League North side looking to claim another shock win after beating Reading in the third round.

The Harriers - who play in the sixth tier of English football - will be looking forward to a packed Aggborough when they welcome Premier League opposition.

The Irons face the lowest ranked team left in the competition, making this tie the easiest match, on paper, for the team competing for a top four finish in the Premier League.

Players to watch

Sam Austin and Amari Morgan-Smith will be on West Ham's radar after they found the net in the last round to knockout Championship side Reading. Any

However, they will have a tough time if the likes of Jarrod Bowen will be playing and I expect the winger to have at least two very good chances to find the net - he is 6/5 anytime scorer.

H2H

The two sides have only ever met once back in February 1994 in the FA Cup with West Ham winning 1-0 thanks to a Lee Chapman winner.
