All eyes will be on Villa Park this Friday, as West Ham United get their Emirates FA Cup campaign underway, visiting Premier League rivals Aston Villa for a third-round tie in front of the ITV cameras.
Those cameras will undoubtedly be focused on Graham Potter, who was unveiled as West Ham’s new Head Coach on Thursday morning.
West Ham have won the FA Cup three times in the Club’s history. After triumphs over second-tier Preston North End and Fulham in 1964 and 1975 respectively, the most recent FA Cup win came in 1980, when a Trevor Brooking header memorably saw the Second Division Irons beat top-flight Arsenal 1-0 at Wembley Stadium.
While Villa are seven-time winners of the FA Cup, last lifting the trophy in 1957.
All signs point to an exciting all-Premier League match-up, with Potter hoping to kick-off his reign with a notable victory over Unai Emery’s Villa.
