Aston Villa v West Ham United: FA Cup third round – live

Graham Potter is celebrating his 24-hour anniversary as West Ham United boss, and here’s the new boss talking to ITV. “West Ham are a fantastic football club … great history, tradition … ambition … a family feel … a well-functioning academy … an ambitious board … it felt really right … I feel like I've come back stronger … a better person and coach … I’m really excited … we had a training session yesterday … met everybody … tried to get my bearings … prepared the team … a day in the hotel today as well … the response has been brilliant … the players have taken on little messages … we understand what we’re trying to do so onto the game.”

Aston Villa are celebrating their 150th anniversary tonight. To mark the occasion, various match-day items have been priced at £1.50, including lager, pies, sausage rolls, soft drinks, scarves, beanie hats, caps, the commemorative programme, and the shuttle bus from Birmingham city centre to Villa Park. That’s a lovely touch. The commemorative shirt isn’t priced at £1.50, mind, but let’s not expect the moon on a stick. In any case, that’s not stopped the kit already selling out online, and you can understand why, because it’s delicious: all black, reflecting the club’s first colours before they transitioned to their storied claret and blue, with retro rampant-lion crest, no sponsors, and no names on the back. Happy birthday, Villa!

Aston Villa make three changes to their starting XI after last weekend’s 2-1 Premier League home win over Leicester City. Emiliano Martínez makes way for Robin Olsen in goal. Morgan Rogers and Ian Maatsen step up, while Lucas Digne drops to the bench and captain John McGinn sits this one out injured.

West Ham United also make three changes, after the strange 4-1 defeat at Manchester City that sometimes promised more but ultimately cost Julen Lopetegui his job. Łukasz Fabiański replaces Alphonse Areola in goal. Konstantinos Mavropanos and Oliver Scarles coming in, with Vladimír Coufal benched and Jean-Clair Todibo out injured. The 19-year-old midfielder Scarles, who has appeared a couple of times as a Premier League sub, will make his first start for West Ham.

Aston Villa: Olsen, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, Kamara, Tielemans, Bailey, Barkley, Rogers, Watkins.
Subs: Gauci, Nedeljkovic, Digne, Bogarde, Onana, Ramsey, Jimoh, Buendia, Burrowes.

West Ham United: Fabianski, Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Scarles, Soucek, Alvarez, Kudus, Lucas Paqueta, Summerville, Fullkrug.
Subs: Foderingham, Cresswell, Soler, Coufal, Luis Guilherme, Ings, Rodriguez, Irving, Casey.

Referee: Tim Robinson (West Sussex).

Two grand old clubs with a proud FA Cup pedigree meet tonight. Aston Villa have won the cup on seven occasions, a record only bettered by six others, while West Ham boast three wins on their resumé, plus a supporting role in one of the competition’s greatest stories, the White Horse Final. All good and well, the only problem being that everything happened such a long time ago. West Ham haven’t won it since 1980, Aston Villa since 1957. Villa have only featured in two subsequent finals, failing to turn up in 2000 then falling apart in 2015; West Ham have only made one more, though to be fair were a last-minute lightning bolt away from victory in 2006. However for both it’s been quite the wait. Who’ll still have hope of ending theirs once we’re done here tonight? Kick-off is at 8pm GMT, and we go to extra time and penalties if necessary. It’s on!
