THE Daily Echo's Win Christmas competition has joined forces with Southampton Football Club to offer readers the chance of winning a family ticket to the forthcoming FA Cup Third Round match against Ipswich Town.

Ronald Koeman’s side will start their FA Cup campaign at home to the Tractor Boys on Sunday, January 4, kicking off at 3pm, and you could be there to cheer them on.

Saints won the FA Cup back in 1976 and Koeman stated he wanted to bring silverware to St Mary’s when he took over the reins in the summer, so could this be the competition for him?

The FA Cup is renowned for its magic and for its unpredictable nature. It’s still the one cup every team in England is desperate to get their hands on and you could be in St Mary’s ready to cheer on Saints as they start their march to Wembley.

Today’s Christmas treat offers you the chance to win a family ticket – comprising two adults and two children – to see Saints take on the Champion-ship side as they aim to book their place in the next round of the competition.

If Saints can make it a year to remember, you won’t want to miss out!
