Form Guides
Burton Albion Form Guide
Burton Albion are experiencing a difficult season in their league, currently occupying the final relegation spot in League 1, having earned thirty-two points from thirty games. However, they’re far from relegated; given the tight nature of the league, they’re still only one point back of Blackpool in 17th. They’ve also drawn two of their last three matches, so they can’t be dismissed ahead of Saturday's game.
The home side has already emulated their best performance in the FA Cup by reaching the fourth round, a feat they reached in the 10/11 season when they were defeated 1-3 by Burnley . They’ve performed exceptionally to reach this stage defeating St Albans City 6-0, Brackley Town 1-3 and Boreham Wood 0-5
Manager Gary Bowyer generally opts for a 3-4-1-2 formation, which focuses on pace, physical power and direct play.

West Ham United head into Saturday’s FA Cup clash in strong form, having won four times and drawn once in their last six games.

Nuno Espírito Santo, in his post-match interview following their draw with Man United , admitted the result was “tough to take.” However, the attention now turns to the FA Cup, which Nuno Espírito Santo has described as a “beautiful competition” which the Hammers have won three times in their history, coming in 1964, 1975 and 1980.

Key Players To Watch
Key Players To Watch
Jake Beesley - Burton Albion
The Sheffield native has been prolific this season for Burton Albion, having scored twelve times and assisted six across his thirty games this season, which has seen him linked with the likes of Barnsley, Bradford City and Luton Town. His aerial ability, intelligent movement and relentless pressing could cause the Hammers' defence issues on Saturday.
Tomáš Souček - West Ham United
The Czechia International was nothing short of top-class performance from attack to defence midweek against Man United, opening the scoring in the 50th minute, completing 23/28 of his passes and having ten defensive actions. His physicality in both boxes will make him well-suited to play for Burton Albion.
