Fulham vs Southampton: FA Cup fifth round preview
33-year-old Tonda Ecket replaced Will Still in November and Southampton are in fine fettle as they prepare to visit Premier League opponents for the first time in this season’s FA Cup.
Since the turn of the year, Saints have lost just once each home and away, both times against teams now in the top five in the Championship. They’re currently unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions and have won six of them, plus another in extra time.
This shift in Southampton’s fortunes won’t be lost on Fulham, whose own season has been built on solidity and consistency – they’re unlikely to be unduly swayed by the momentum of even surging Championship opposition.
► How to watch FA Cup live streams from anywhere in 2025/26
The Cottagers are in an FA Cup sweet spot. They’re a very good Premier League side, capable on their day of beating anyone in the division, but are just slightly outside the boundaries of a realistic push for European football.
Fulham should see this season as a chance to meaningfully hunt a first-ever FA Cup win. They defeated two of Southampton’s fellow Championship teams in the third and fourth rounds and must now do the same again to put themselves 90 minutes from Wembley.
From there, anything can happen. A first final since 1975 would be a welcome and tangible addition to Silva’s achievements. He only needs to look as far as Crystal Palace last season to know what can be done.
TicketsFourFourTwo’s prediction
Fulham 2-1 Southampton
It wouldn’t be very Fulham to win this at a canter and Southampton are suddenly unused to leading, but FourFourTwo believes the Cottagers are well-placed for a satisfying FA Cup run.
