They fought out a goalless draw in Hampshire and ended 2-2 after extra time at Old Trafford, before the underdogs prevailed in a penalty shoot-out. ‧ The greatest day in Southampton's history was the 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the 1976 final. SOUTHAMPTON Current form ‧ Saturday's 2-0 away defeat to Tranmere ended a six-game unbeaten sequence of five wins and a draw in all competitions. ‧ Brentford were the last visiting club to win at St Mary's on 11 December.

Match officials Referee: Martin Atkinson (West Yorkshire) Assistant referees: Simon Beck and Mike Mullarkey Fourth official: Kevin Friend M.E.N Prediction: Southampton 1-2 United - with all United's defensive worries, they might concede, but they should still win Key opponent: Oxlade-Chamberlain - highly rated youngster will be out to prove he belongs in this company Lawro's predictions Southampton 0-2 United Nigel Adkins has done a great job since taking charge of Southampton in September. They had a blip at Tranmere on Saturday but I'm told Rovers are a bit of a bogey team for them, and they have been going really well in League One otherwise. Saints have got loads of goals in their side, and they turned Blackpool over in the last round, but I think they should just try to enjoy their big day against United rather than hoping too much for a repeat result. Yes, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will probably change his team around, especially because they have got another midweek Premier League game against Aston Villa on Tuesday, but they should still be too strong for Southampton. http://tinyurl.com/4p4uhfh http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/9379065.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9377834.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.38.26.155
