SAINTS have had their FA Cup fifth round opponents confirmed after a 3-0 hammering in a fourth round replay.

Nathan Jones’s side will face now League side Grimsby Town at St Mary's, after the Mariners beat Luton Town 3-0 on Tuesday evening.

Luton are the boss’s former side, taking the Hatters from League Two to the Championship play-offs across two spells in charge of the club.

Jones had commented that “you’ll see what one of my teams looks like” during a string of post-match comments on Saturday, after a 3-0 defeat of Saints’ own at Brentford.

It will instead be Grimsby who visit, with the tie for a place in the quarter-final set to be played on Wednesday, March 1.
