West Ham United prepare to host Norwich City in this rearranged Premier League fixture, where three points for either side could have big impacts at opposite ends of the table.
David Moyes’ side can move into the top four with a victory in this match, leapfrogging Arsenal and moving two points clear of them by the end of the night.
Dean Smith’s basement side, however, can climb up to 18th and draw level on points with Watford just above them, as the Canaries continue to battle yet another relegation-threatened season.
Both sides are coming off the back of FA Cup victories on Sunday to match, as the Hammers progressed to the fourth Round with a 2-0 home victory over league rivals Leeds United, while Norwich came away unscathed in a 1-0 win at League One Charlton Athletic.
The tie represents itself as a game in hand for each side and with a lot at stake, and a number of changes from the weekend can be expected.
Can West Ham achieve a top four finish this season? Have your say in the comments section below.
When is West Ham vs Norwich?
West Ham vs Norwich will kick off at 7:45pm on Wednesday, January 12 at the London Stadium.
The last meeting between the two sides came in July 2020, at the end of the postponed 2019-20 season, when West Ham thumped Norwich 4-0 at Carrow Road.
Michail Antonio stole the show by scoring all four goals for the Hammers, with two in each half, as they sent the Canaries straight back down to the Championship.
How to watch
The game was not chosen for live coverage for its original date back in December due to it falling under the 3pm blackout regulations, and will therefore not be televised on this occasion either.
Overseas viewers will be able to watch the game depending on their territory but otherwise, both teams will be providing live updates via their social media channels during the game.

Team news
David Moyes had five players out of action over the weekend but there is a good chance that Vladimir Coufal (illness) will return for the hosts tonight.
The defensive trio of Kurt Zouma (thigh), Angelo Ogbonna (knee) and Aaron Cresswell (back) will continue to miss out, along with Said Benrahma who is away with Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.
As for Norwich, they could be missing seven of their players for this fixture, but Dean Smith will hope that Todd Cantwell (illness) will pass a late fitness test to come back into the side.
Otherwise, Billy Gilmour (ankle) has joined the injury list of Christoph Zimmermann (ankle), Lukas Rupp (thigh), Andrew Omobamidele (back), Mathias Normann (groin) and Jonathan Rowe ( Covid-19 ).
