A valiant Bristol City prepare to host West Ham United in the two side's 3rd Round replay of the FA Cup after a 1-1 draw at the latter's home.
Tommy Conway scored a thundering strike in the second half to help Bristol City set up a replay after the Championship side conceded early. The Robians showed ultimate bravery during their trip to London and with fans turning up the heat at Ashton Gate, they would be confident of defeating their rivals.
Despite Jarrod Bowen's early opener in the previous tie, the Hammers failed to capitalise on multiple chances that they created leaving scope for a Bristol City equaliser. David Moyes' men are on a streak of two wins and a draw in the Premier League and with form favouring them, they would enter the contest as favourites.
