Blackpool make the long trip down to Southampton to play for a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup today. These sides haven't faced each other since 2012, when Blackpool won 3-0. Who will emerge victorious from this latest battle of the seasiders? Here's how to watch a Southampton vs Blackpool live stream online wherever you are.
Southampton came from a goal down to beat fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in the last round. Odsonne Edouard put Palace in front after just seven minutes but a much-changed Saints side were back on level terms when a cross from a James Ward-Prowse free-kick somehow evaded everybody and ended up in the back of Vicente Guaita's net. The Palace 'keeper was at fault again for Adam Armstrong's winner, with the Southampton striker charging down his attempted clearance and tapping into an empty net.
Only Lyanco, Orsic and Mara keep their places in the Saints starting XI today, with Nathan Jones ringing the changes. That means starts for Maitland-Niles, Bella-Kotchap, Perraud, Lavia, Elyounoussi, Aribo and Edozie, with captain Cabellero in goal.
Blackpool banished all thoughts of their struggle for Championship survival when they thumped Nottingham Forest 4-1 in the last round. Forest changed their entire starting XI for the fixture, but Blackpool were well worth their win and the Premier League side's stoppage-time goal was very much a consolation. Ekpiteta, Poveda, Hamilton and Yates all scored for the Tangerines to set up another tie against top-flight opposition. Can they claim another scalp?
Mick McCarthy's first game as Blackpool boss includes five changes from the team that lost to Watford last weekend, including a debut for Charlie Goode. Ian Poveda, who's on loan from Leeds, also starts.
The match is being shown on subscription streaming services ESPN+ in the US and Paramount Plus in Australia. Here's how to get a Southampton vs Blackpool live stream and watch this FA Cup fixture online from wherever you are. (opens in new tab)
