Saints FA Cup date confirmed

The details have been confirmed for the upcoming Emirates FA Cup quarter-final, with AFC Bournemouth ready to host Southampton.

The last-eight tie will take place at Vitality Stadium on Saturday 20th March, kicking-off at 12.15pm.

As in the previous round, the fixture will be broadcast live on BT Sport.

The quarter-final match up was confirmed in last Thursday night's draw, shortly after Ralph Hasenhuttl's side had confirmed their place in the round with a win at Wolves.

Earlier in the week the Cherries upset the odds with an impressive 2-0 win at Turf Moor against Premier League side Burnley.

It is just the second time the south-coast rivals have been drawn against each other in the FA Cup.

The Cherries came out winners in the sides' one previous meeting in the competition, all the way back in 1953, drawing 1-1 at the Dell before pulling off a 3-1 Dean Court win in the replay four days later.
