Match Facts
Watford have been eliminated in four of their five FA Cup ties against Southampton, most recently in the fourth round in 2017-18. Only Brighton, Chelsea and Spurs have knocked the Hornets out more often (five times apiece).
Southampton are unbeaten in their last nine away games against Watford (W4 D5, all in the league) since their last defeat at Vicarage Road back in September 2007 in a Championship match.
Since beating Wolves 3-2 in the 2018-19 semi-final at Wembley, Watford are winless in six FA Cup games against sides in the top four tiers of English football (D1 L5), their only win in this time coming against National League side Chesterfield in this season’s third round.
Southampton have won 16 of their last 24 away games in the FA Cup (D3 L5), including their last four in a row. They’ve never won five away games in a row in the competition.
This is Watford manager Valérien Ismaël’s sixth match in the FA Cup as a manager, with all six coming at home – before this match, he’s had three with Barnsley (W2 L1), one with West Brom (L1) and one with Watford (W1).
