Championship side Bristol City fought their way back from behind to hold 2022/23 Europa Conference League winners West Ham United to a 1-1 draw in the third round of the FA Cup earlier this month and the two sides meet at Ashton Gate in the resultant replay tonight.
Jarrod Bowen scored in the opening four minutes for West Ham United in their FA Cup third round meeting with Championship side Bristol City on 7th January, however they let their slender lead slip to a Tommy Conway goal in the 61st minute and have it all to do again at Ashton Gate this evening. The Hammers defence had held firm against the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion in the weeks prior to the FA Cup third round meeting with the Robins, however with their rearguard finally breached, the East Londoners now have a rather unwelcome addition to their new year schedule.
Bristol City boss Liam Manning would be delighted to get one over on his firmer employers, however the Robins don’t enjoy a good recent record at this stage of the competition, having exited alternately between the third and fifth rounds each season since 2017/18. City have failed to register a win in their last four outings across competitions and their goal against the Gunners was their only one in 360 minutes of play. Indeed, despite their valiant effort in East London, City have been toothless of late and we envisage them falling victim to a Hammers defensive masterclass tonight.
