Man City vs. Southampton: What's the story?

It is a tall order for Southampton to overcome Man City, but the Saints famously knocked Arsenal out in the last round of the competition and will be full of confidence ahead of this match.

Southampton are flying in the Championship, unbeaten since the middle of January, which has seen them rise up the table and into fourth, with promotion a serious possibility.

Man City, meanwhile, are chasing success in the Premier League, currently sitting at the top of the division, ahead of second-placed Arsenal on goals scored.

As a result, both teams have other matters on their mind, but this match provides the opportunity to reach the final of the biggest cup competition in English football.

Man City are seven-time winners of the FA Cup, with their last success coming in 2023, while Southampton have won the trophy once, claiming the silverware back in 1976.
