    It's been a long time coming for Bournemouth as this is just their second appearance in the FA Cup quarter-final, with the Cherries losing to Manchester United's 'Busby Babes' in their only previous such game in March 1957

    Hasenhuttl will want to continue Southampton's unbeaten run against Bournemouth, winning two and drawing two in all competitions, since a 0-2 Premier League loss in March 2016

    The Cherries have work to do in the Championship if they want to bounce straight back into the top flight. They currently sit two points outside of the top six making it a bit of a scrap to finish in the playoff places

    Southampton's league form has been far from glowing, having won just once in their last 12 Premier League games. But Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have had no such problems in the FA Cup however, winning all three of their matches without conceding a goal and with their league season petering out, it is clear that the FA Cup is now the number priority for them

    And here is Saint's squad....
    Ralph Hasenhuttl has shuffled his pack slightly with Takumi Minamino cup tied, so Che Adams and Nathan Redmond lead the line with Danny Ings still out

    Here is how the home side have lined up:
    David Brooks hasn't shaken off an ankle problem, so Rodrigo Riquelme slots in on the right-hand side, while Arnaut Danjuma also starts on the left flank
