West Ham United will face fellow Premiership strugglers Watford in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The tie will be played at Upton Park on the weekend of January 27th/28th - just a fortnight ahead of Watford's visit in the Premiership.

The two clubs last met in the competition back in January 1994, when goals from Martin Allen and Mike Marsh gave the Hammers a Third Round 2-1 win at The Boleyn Ground.

Prior to that the teams had met twice in the FA Cup with each side registering a win apiece; Watford won a fourth round tie at Vicarage Road 2-0 in 1982, whilst United beat Watford 1-0 at The Boleyn in January 1978 thanks to an 80th minute goal from 'Pop' Robson.
