Southampton face Spurs in the FA Cup Fourth-Round tomorrow and will fancy their chances of advancing to the next round.

They overcame Huddersfield Town in the last round, with goals from academy products Will Smallbone and Jake Vokins giving Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side a 2-0 win.

Jan Bednarek, Jannik Vestergaard and Cedric are all set to be unavailable on Saturday – meaning that opportunities will arise for other to prove their worth.
