Paul Warne’s are riding a 16-match unbeaten run in all competitions as they seek an immediate promotion back to the Championship, while the Rams also pushed Liverpool to a penalty shootout at Anfield in the EFL Cup third round in October.

This will be just the second FA Cup meeting between the two clubs, exactly 100 years after the first!

West Ham defeated Derby 5-2 in the semi-final at Stamford Bridge in March 1923 to secure a place in the first-ever final held at Wembley Stadium, with Billy Brown and Billy Moore each scoring two goals in front of a 50,795-strong crowd.

West Ham have won the FA Cup on three occasions, lifting the famous trophy in 1964, 1975 and most recently in 1980. The Irons also finished as runners-up in 1923 and 2006.

Derby lifted their sole FA Cup in 1946, and also reached the final in 1898, 1899 and 1903.

Ticket details for this season’s fourth-round tie will be announced in due course.

The final of the 2022/23 FA Cup will be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 3 June.
