Southampton FC predicted team lineup vs Watford in FA Cup

The two sides drew 1-1 at Vicarage Road in December thanks to a last-minute equaliser for the Hornets.

The winners could face teams as varied as National League South Maidstone United or treble winners Man City in the next round.

Russell Martin made nine changes to his last FA Cup team but rotation is unlikely to be as extreme again. This is what we think... 

Goalkeeper 

Joe Lumley impressed with his feet and kept a clean sheet against Walsall in the third round, so should keep his place for this one. 

Defenders

Martin is keen to give minutes to skipper Jack Stephens and he could partner Taylor Harwood-Bellis at the back.

Mason Holgate will likely get his first start since the third round and Ryan Manning should keep his spot from last weekend.

Midfielders 

Shea Charles will give Flynn Downes an afternoon off in the midfield six while Will Smallbone also played in the cup last time out.

Martin has also already confirmed that new signing Joe Rothwell, who made his debut as a substitute at Swansea, will play. 

Attackers

Saints have limited options in the attack due to injuries and it could mean Adam Armstrong and Che Adams lead the line again.

Charly Alcaraz could play in a slightly different role to give him minutes and rest league starter Ryan Fraser.

Full predicted team:

Bazunu, Holgate, Stephens, Harwood-Bellis, Manning; Charles, Smallbone, Rothwell; A Armstrong, Alcaraz, Adams.
