What the managers said
Nuno Espirito Santo on the importance of the FA Cup: "The [FA] Cup is always a good competition for us. We love the FA Cup, and this is what we are focused on now.
"My first memories of the FA Cup are from the 1980s, when the only game that was transmitted in Portugal was the FA Cup final, so it means a lot to me.
"It’s really, really important, and we’re looking forward to being at home against a tough opponent. We want to try and go through."
Keith Edwards on an injury blow to Rico Henry: "Rico did his hamstring the other night. Everyone could see he was in quite a bit of distress with that when he had to come off.

"Rico won't be available [for West Ham], and he'll probably be out for a decent period of time, unfortunately.
"He worked really hard to get back to the point where his performances were at a really high level, so that's really unfortunate with him."
