By Southampton host defending FA Cup champions Arsenal in a fourth-round tie at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.
The Saints only confirmed their spot in the fourth round on Tuesday evening, when they beat Shrewsbury Town in a fixture that was postponed.
Southampton won that game 2-0 thanks to goals form Dan N’Lundulu and James Ward-Prowse. They are also unbeaten in their last three home games, and won the last two, with Liverpool and Shrewsbury being their victims.
