Southampton vs West Ham: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - FA Cup preview

Not since 1980 have the Hammers lifted the cup, with only one appearance in the last-eight achieved in over ten years. But, David Moyes’ side are enjoying a fine season and went deep into the Carabao Cup.

Southampton reached last season’s semi-finals and yet are enduring a longer dry spell in the FA Cup, which they last won in 1976.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has put together a very solid run of four wins in five matches ahead of the game, having claimed a 3-2 win at London Stadium in the Premier League earlier this season. West Ham are unbeaten in five.

Southampton vs West Ham is scheduled for a 7.30pm GMT kick-off tonight, Wednesday, March 2, 2022.

St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton will host the match.

TV channel: Tonight’s match will be televised live on the BBC Red Button.

Live stream: The BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website will also show the match live online.

The Saints’ 3-2 win on Boxing Day was their first victory in nine meetings.
