Youth Cup: Arsenal to face Saints

Arsenal will play Southampton in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup.

The Saints beat Norwich at St. Mary's Stadium on Wednesday night, Craig Richards scoring the only goal after 15 minutes.

Arsenal's trip to the south coast gives them a chance to avenge last season's fourth-round defeat against Southampton. The young Gunners also lost out to the Saints in the Under-19 play-offs.

Steve Bould's team have already beaten Southampton in the Academy League this season, ending a run of 16 successive victories for the runaway leaders.

Arsenal's Youth Cup fifth-round tie must be played by February 19.
