Saints were first out of the hat for the FA Cup draw on Monday evening and that meant a home draw that pits Russell Martin against one of his old clubs at St Mary's in what hopefully should be a winnable game.

Russell Martin will come up against his old side Swansea City at St Mary's on the weekend of Saturday 11th January.

Saints will hope for an FA Cup campaign to ignite their season and although we could have had on paper at least a much easier tie, this is a game that we will start as favourites after defeating the Swans twice in the Championship last season.
