Non-league side Kidderminster Harriers will be looking to produce the result of the latest round of FA Cup fixtures on TV when they host West Ham United at Aggborough Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

Russell Penn’s side were deserved winners against Championship strugglers Reading in the third round in January and are tussling for the title in the National League North this term, four points back from leaders Gateshead after their 3-0 win against Leamington on Tuesday night.

They’ve got history with Hammers boss David Moyes as well, having knocked him out of the fourth round of the FA Cup while he was a Preston player back in 1994.

West Ham head into the fourth round tie as heavy favourites after a brilliant start to the season, which has them well in the race for the top four and UEFA Champions League qualification.

The January transfer window was frustratingly quiet for the east London club but they’ll feel this could be their best chance to win the FA Cup since they made the final in 2005/06 and a win on Saturday would move them one step closer to that goal.

Our prediction: Kidderminster v West Ham

You cannot write off the magic of the FA Cup but it would be a mammoth upset were Kidderminster, the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, to knock West Ham out in their fourth round tie on Saturday.

For many players in Penn’s squad, this may well be the biggest game of their careers and they will put up a fight but the difference in quality will surely prove too great.

The Hammers’ main focus will be reaching the top four this term but this competition is their last realistic opportunity to win a domestic trophy in 2021/22 and it’s hard to see them slipping up.

Our prediction: Kidderminster 1-4 West Ham (14/1 at bet365)
