West Ham learn date for FA Cup fourth round tie at Derby County as ITV and FA make decision

A date has been set for West Ham United’s FA Cup fourth round tie at Derby County which has been picked for live TV coverage.

The FA Cup fourth round will get underway in late January with the Hammers one of 12 Premier League teams still in the competition.

David Moyes’ side claimed their first win in all competitions since November last Saturday with a 1-0 win away at Premier League rivals Brentford in the third round of the FA Cup.

League One side Derby County entered the competition at the first round stage, defeating Torquay United and Newport County before their third round win against League One rivals Barnsley.

The fourth round will kick-off on Friday, January 27, but both Derby and West Ham will have to wait until Monday evening, January 30, with the tie selected for live TV coverage on ITV4 and ITVX. Kick-off will be at 7.45pm.

Before that, West Ham’s focus will be on getting clear of the Premier League relegation zone. The Irons are 17th in the table, level on points with 18th placed Everton, ahead of a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are 19th and just one point behind, this Saturday (January 14).

Moyes’ side will then face Everton a week later (January 21) before their encounter with Derby County in the FA Cup. West Ham will start February with a trip to high-flying Newcastle United.
