What channel is Bournemouth v Southampton FA Cup match on? Kick off time and latest team news- 20 March 2021
Bournemouth and Southampton clash on the south coast for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Championship side Bournemouth will hope to spring a surprise on neighbours Southampton and advance to the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in their history.
The Cherries last made it to the quarter-finals back in the 1956/57 season and have come through some tricky FA Cup fixtures to reach the stage this year.
The 2-0 victory over another Premier League side Burnley in the previous round will give new boss Jonathan Woodgate optimism that they can test Saints here.
But Southampton themselves are hoping to use an FA Cup run as a means to define the second half of their season in a positive light after struggling in the Premier League of late.
Just two wins in 12 games across all competitions has put a dampener on sprints at St Mary’s and a victory here would secure them a second semi-final berth in four seasons.

Our prediction: Bournemouth v Southampton
Bournemouth stunned promotion chasers Swansea 3-0 in midweek and are enjoying a strong run of form heading into this encounter, which sees them come up against one of the most out-of-form sides in the country.

Saints are in desperate need of a boost and Ralph Hasenhuttl will likely deploy his strongest XI here.
Yet even with the likes of Che Adams and James Ward-Prowse starting, Southampton could fall foul of defeat. Viewers could be in for a classic FA Cup encounter that goes into extra time.
