SAINTS have another match to look forward to being added to their already hectic schedule after victory over Blackpool in the FA Cup fourth round.
Romain Perraud scored twice at St Mary’s in an eventual 2-1 win over the Championship strugglers to secure a place in the last 16 of the tournament.
Ahead of their visit to Newcastle United in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final, which they trail 1-0, Saints will learn their next opponents in the world’s oldest cup competition.
Saints have been awarded ball number two for the draw. Here are all the details you need for the upcoming FA Cup fifth round draw.
