SOUTHAMPTON'S home fixture against Hull City later this month has been given a new date following their progression in the FA Cup.

Saints will now host Liam Rosenior's Tigers on Tuesday, February 20, rather than the originally scheduled Saturday, January 27.

Russell Martin's side reached the fourth round of the FA Cup by beating Walsall 4-0 on Saturday and will discover their opponent this evening.

Ties in the fourth round will then be scheduled across the weekend of Saturday, January 27 and successful teams will land £120,000 from the competition prize fund.

Hull City currently sit seventh in the Championship table, 13 points behind Southampton.

Saints will look to complete the double over Hull having recorded a dramatic 2-1 win back in October thanks to Ryan Fraser's stoppage-time strike.

The club statement issued states: "Tickets already purchased for the 7:45 PM kick-off remain valid for the rearranged fixture."
