With a place in the quarter-finals of the cup at stake, this looks set to be a closely-contested tie.

Prediction
There are 11 places and 16 points separating Brentford and West Ham in the Premier League with the Hammers battling against relegation down in 18th as the seventh-placed Bees eye a European spot.
Their respective positions detail their contrasting seasons and explain why Brentford are favourites to progress to the last eight.
However, there is unlikely to be too much to choose between them on Monday.
Brentford only just squeezed past non-league giantkillers Macclesfield 1-0, avoiding a similar shock to the one holders Crystal Palace suffered in Cheshire in the third round, while the Hammers were far from convincing when edging out League One Burton Albion 1-0 in round four.
Both Nuno and Keith Andrews could opt to ring the changes as the two clubs' league demands may be deemed higher priority, but the managers must also respect the fact fans will be keen on a cup run.
Brentford have won on their last two visits to the London Stadium and their impressive recent away form means they are fancied to progress, albeit by a narrow margin.
