Giant-killers Wigan Athletic of the third tier, who eliminated Manchester City in the fifth round, bid to continue their dream FA Cup run against a relegation-threatened Southampton side looking to find form under newly appointed manager Mark Hughes.

Following the sacking of Mauricio Pellegrino on Monday evening, Hughes was appointed this week and took charge of his first training session on Thursday ahead of this tie.

He has been tasked with keeping Southampton in the Premier League, so this could be seen as the perfect opening match for him to assess his players with the pressure off and the potential of a morale-boosting place in the FA Cup semi-finals at stake.
