Southampton vs. Arsenal LIVE: Southampton stun Arsenal to book a trip to Wembley

by

Southampton take on Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup on Saturday, and you can follow it here with ESPN.

Mikel Arteta’s side arrive on the south coast in contention to win the treble, leading the Premier League and with a Champions League quarterfinal upcoming.

Several Arsenal players withdrew from international duty before their first club game back, including Eberechi Eze and Declan Rice, meaning Arteta may look to his wider squad for the cup clash.

The winner will book a trip to Wembley and a place in Sunday’s semifinal draw.

The hosts come into Saturday evening’s tie after already delivering an upset against a Premier League side this term, seeing off Fulham in a 1-0 away win.

Currently seventh in the Championship, Tonda Eckert’s side sit just outside the playoff places in England‘s second tier, aiming to return back to the top flight at the first time of asking.

But they could write an arguably much bigger story if they beat Arsenal this evening, with the 32,000 strong capacity St. Mary’s Stadium behind them. Finn Azaz has nine for the Saints in all competitions this term — their top scorer still in the squad after Adam Armstrong left for Wolves. He’ll be keen to add to his total for the season on Saturday evening.
