Southampton are marooned in the middle of the Premier League, although they'll probably be fairly happy with that after a poor start that at one stage had them on the verge of the relegation zone. But while things have got a little better lately, they've still not won two Premier League games in a row since early November and don't look like troubling the European places.
In short, if they're to get anything out of this season the FA Cup represents their best chance. They needed extra time to beat Swansea 3-2 in the third round, only to be rewarded with a tie against another Championship side in the form of Coventry — and this could be a far tougher test.
That's because Coventry City, after nearly a decade in the wilderness that saw them drop right down to League Two, are on the brink of being a pretty decent team again. After winning the League One title in 2020 they returned to the Championship for the first time since 2012 and consolidated with a 16th-place finish. But this season they've surprised many by mounting a serious promotion challenge. And though they sit just outside the play-off places in 10th, they have games in hand that could see them climb back into those all-important top-six spots.
Plus, in Viktor Gyokeres they have a goalscorer to trouble a Southampton defence that's not exactly excelled this season. This one could be interesting.
Here's how they line up:
Southampton: Caballero, Valery, Lyanco, Stephens, Livramento, Diallo, Ward-Prowse, Small, Walcott, Long, Armstrong.
Coventry City: Moore, Clarke-Salter, Rose, O'Hare, Sheaf, Hyam, Gyokeres, Maatsen, Bidwell, Eccles, Hamer.
