- 南安普顿在90分钟内赢得了他们过去9场主场足总杯比赛中的7场
- 伯恩利在过去七场足总杯客场对阵英超俱乐部的比赛中输掉了五场
- Clarets正处于一场激烈的晋升战中，预计会让球员休息
帕克的奖杯很低；s优先级列表
南安普顿队自11月在圣玛丽举行的足总杯第四轮对阵伯恩利队以来，首次获得背靠背的胜利；星期六。上周，圣徒队表现出了一些勇气和决心，在降级六分球中击败了伊普斯维奇，如果他们能重复这种表现，他们应该在杯赛上取得进一步的进步。
伯恩利在锦标赛中排名第二，目前正在争夺自动晋级。可悲的是，对于杯赛爱好者来说，这场比赛对Clarets老板Scott Parker来说优先级要低得多，并将再次进行大规模的改变。
他在第三轮取得了11分，当时Clarets需要额外的时间来克服英甲联赛的阅读，现在营地里又有一些伤病，一些未经测试的青训营球员可能会前往南海岸。
圣徒可以再次获胜
南安普顿有能力利用伯恩利的任何削弱；他的防守本赛季表现出色。Ivan Juric；中国队在过去的五场比赛中都取得了进球，其中三场进了两个或更多的球。
他们在第三轮以3比0战胜斯旺西，在这场比赛中，备受追捧的青少年泰勒·迪布林打进两球，这是有可能再次取得的结果。伯恩利在所有比赛的最后10场比赛中有5场都没有得分，尽管他们的主要问题发生在主场，当对手来到草皮沼泽防守时。
因此，随着新签约的乔恩·谢尔维和马库斯·爱德华兹将在周六迎来他们在伯恩利的第一次首发，最好放弃零比零的选择，让圣徒队在不需要额外时间或点球的情况下取得进步。
- Southampton have won seven of their last nine home FA Cup ties inside 90 minutes
- Burnley have lost five of their last seven away FA Cup ties to Premier League clubs
- The Clarets are in the thick of a promotion battle and are expected to rest players
Cup is low on Parker’s priority list
Southampton could secure back-to-back wins for the first time since November when they take on Burnley in the fourth round of the FA Cup at St Mary’s on Saturday. The Saints showed some grit and determination to beat Ipswich in a relegation six-pointer last week and ought to make further cup progress if they can repeat that performance.
Burnley are second in the Championship and vying for automatic promotion right now. Sadly for cup aficionados, this competition is a significantly lower priority for Clarets boss Scott Parker and will make wholesale changes again.
He made 11 in round three when the Clarets needed extra time to overcome League One Reading and with a few more injuries in the camp now, some untested academy players are likely to be travelling down to the south coast.
Saints can secure another win
Southampton are capable of taking advantage of any weakening of Burnley’s defence, which has been excellent this season. Ivan Juric’s side have scored in all of their last five games and bagged two or more in three of them.
Their 3-0 third-round win over Swansea, in which sought-after teen Tyler Dibling scored twice, is the sort of result that could be possible again. Burnley have failed to score in five of their last 10 games in all competitions, although their main issues occur at home when opponents come to Turf Moor to defend.
So with new signings Jonjo Shelvey and Marcus Edwards set to be handed their first Burnley starts on Saturday it may be best to spurn the win to nil option and just take the Saints to progress without the need for extra-time or penalties.
