What channel is Aston Villa v West Ham United FA Cup match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Aston Villa v West Ham United in the FA Cup, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
West Ham United will be happy to focus back on the football on Friday evening as they travel to Aston Villa for an all claret-and-blue FA Cup third round tie.
This week's headlines have been dominated by the clumsy sacking of head coach Julen Lopetegui, whose exit and replacement were widely reported long before the Hammers pulled the trigger and announced his departure.
Life beyond Lopetegui – and under former Chelsea head coach Graham Potter – begins at Villa Park as the Hammers look to avoid a second third-round exit in two years.
The East Londoners were dumped out of the competition by Championship outfit Bristol City last term, and will be the underdogs on Friday evening against a home side with eyes on a cup run.
For all their recent success, Villa have won just two domestic cup games under Unai Emery and exited the Carabao Cup at the hands of Crystal Palace in October.
They're in the hunt for another top-four finish in the Premier League and are on course to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League, but the FA Cup surely represents their best chance of silverware this season – a fact that will not be lost on the home support on Friday.
