First real chance for Bournemouth. Arnaut Danjuma teases Jan Bednarek on the left but isn't given any space. He opts to go on the outside and tries to squeeze an effort through at the near post. Fraser Forster gets a strong hand on it.

Ryan Bertrand has a corner at the other end for Southampton but again, it's a poor one.

It ends up coming out to Stuart Armstrong on the edge of the box but he scuffs it too. That's two set-pieces wasted.

Dominic Solanke is pretty isolated up front at the moment. Bournemouth are struggling to get a hold of the midfield.

There's a brief bit of space for Solanke here though but he can't find a teammate.

Ben Pearson tries to take advantage of a slip from Kyle Walker-Peters but his touch is heavy and it's back with Southampton.

Ryan Bertrand then plays it down the line for Che Adams to chase but Jack Wilshere does well to win a free-kick off Bertrand a few moments later.

Nathan Redmond tries to drill it in early and low but Steve Cook is alert to hoof it away.

Stuart Armstrong then bounces off Ben Pearson, races along the byline and cuts it back but Ryan Bertrand slices it wide.

Decent chance!

An early scare for Bournemouth then. Kyle Walker-Peters and Stuart Armstrong getting space on that right side.

If it's offside it's offside it's just disappointing when it's that tight. I think they will change things next year but we've just got to get on with it this year.

He is!

Kyle Walker-Peters is JUST offside. Won't count. VAR strikes again.

Oh hang on...

Was he offside?

It's given away a little sloppily by Southampton as Moussa Djenepo is cornered and curls it hopefully to a Bournemouth player in the middle.

Arnaut Danjuma tries to tee up Diego Rico but under pressure from Kyle Walker-Peters, he slices wide.

Nice move from Bournemouth as Jack Wilshere acts as the rotator in midfield. Philip Billing and Arnaut Danjuma play a first-time one-two but it doesn't quite come off.

Southampton have been such an up and down team, they need one or two better results. Even last year they went on a dreadful run and lost some big games with big numbers against them. They've done the same this year but they've had good runs in between as well so you just don't know what you're going to get from them.

It's another shot for Ibrahima Diallo as Southampton come again but it's blocked. Bright start from the Premier League side.

Ibrahima Diallo drags his shot from the edge of the box but it takes a slight deflection and goes out for a corner.

First chance for James Ward-Prowse to swing one in...

He goes short to Nathan Redmond and they mess it up completely. Out for a goal kick.

Off we go!

Here come the players. Imagining a few hundred cardboard FA Cup trophies being waved.

Bournemouth XI: Begovic, Stacey, Carter-Vickers, S Cook, Rico, Wilshere, Pearson, Riquelme, Billing, Danjuma Groeneveld, Solanke.

Southampton XI: Forster, Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Djenepo, Adams, Redmond.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenthuttl speaking to BT Sport: "It is big opportunity today for us to go through to the next round.

"We need to have a good game, that's for sure, but it will be a typical cup fight I think. We need to battle for it.

"It is a big target for us this season. We said we wanted to concentrate a little bit more on the FA Cup.

"We have always picked the strongest team for every round so far so that is why we are now in the last eight. We finally have a chance to go to the semi-finals.

"It is an interesting game for both teams. I think we have a chance so this is what we have to grab with both hands."
