Forest away in the FA Cup

West Ham United have been drawn away to face Championship side Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup with Budweiser.

Sunday's draw, which was made by former Hammer Teddy Sheringham and his son Charlie, sends the Hammers to the City Ground for the first time since a Championship clash in August 2011, when West Ham ran out 4-1 winners.

Forest have enjoyed a strong start to their campaign and sit fifth in the table following Saturday's 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday.

They are two-time FA Cup winners, having last triumphed in 1959, and were defeated 3-2 by the Hammers in their last FA Cup meeting - a fourth round tie in 2010/11.

The game will be played over the weekend of 4 & 5 January, and full fixture and ticketing details will appear on whufc.com in due course.
