Saints draw Pompey in fifth round

6:06pm Sunday 24th January 2010

Saints were this evening drawn at home to Pompey in the FA Cup fifth round. The match will be played on the weekend of February 13/14.

Saints qualified for the fifth round after Saturday's 2-1 home win over Ipswich, while Pompey came from behind to beat Sunderland 2-1 at Fratton Park.

Saints have played Pompey four times in the FA Cup and have never lost.

In fact, they have never been beaten by their rivals in cup competitions.

The last time the two sides met at St. Mary's was also an FA Cup game, with Saints coming out on top thanks to a Peter Crouch penalty in the last minute.
